Well, if you say I made one good point, then at least I made one good point. A standard VM is the most obvious thing we need. But I think there is definitely something to the notion of web applications as real applications, which can be queried in a structured way and composed (think pipes) with one another and with desktop applications.

- georgemcbay 15y agoTo be clear, while I'm not sold on binary formats for HTML and CSS as they currently exist, I do agree with your general point. The web (even as of HTML5) is somewhat of a ridiculous answer to the question of "How do we build these things we want to build" when those things are rich UI apps. Unfortunately the problem is more politics than technical. To make any big sweeping changes you need buy in from at least Apple, Google, Mozilla and Microsoft, who all have very different goals and borderline antagonistic relationships with each other in all directions. Good luck with that.
