Seems like this is coming from someone in a silo of his own, nostalgic and out of touch with industry. I had a Newton and I don’t miss it. In particular, JavaScript has evolved into a much nicer language than it started out, even more so if you add TypeScript. Yes, there are unfixable gotchas, but they’re well-documented and they’re far less important than some critics think. They rarely get in the way. There are tools that could be better, but they’ve improved a lot, and keep improving. Also, embedding one app in another visually is a poor fit for mobile devices. There’s only so much screen to work with. Share buttons using common data formats mostly do the job. On the web, the best way of sharing something widely is with a URL. We have iframes but rarely use them.
