This is an important technical discussion, one that the community needs to keep having to reduce unnecessary work and get more cross-platform support. There is a lot to be learned from (and reused) from history. For example, part of the post here is "When web-land wants to access the device keychain, it sends a message to native-land, and native-land responds with a primitive value. Neither native-land or web-land ever have to think about "messages" though. They're just function calls. Web-land has no idea that its function calls are being converted to postMessage calls behind the scenes." That is very similar to Microsoft COM, DCOM and COM+, which all appeared at the points when Microsoft had to cope with levels of complexity similar to those in the browser and mobile platform diversity observe todday. ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Component_Object_Model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_Component_Object_M...
