Is it a weakness of the web that HTTP is just a protocol specification?
The "problem" with this in Wayland is that before people 'ran Xorg with GNOME on top", now they just run GNOME the same way they run Chrome or Firefox to use HTTP - it will take time for people to get used to this.
- johannes1234321 2y agoThere are problems on the web, which originate from aspects of HTTP. It's an okay protocol, but clearly not intended for interactive applications.
- wmanley 2y agoHTTP is to Wayland as the web is to what??? I think the answer is also Wayland. It's very confusing because there is wayland the protocol and wayland the system, where the protocol is a part of the system - but there is no separate name for it. When people discuss wayland they are very rarely talking about wayland the protocol, and are much more likely talking about wayland the system.
