Coopting the web as a low level platform, to be bent into blast utterly non web stuff feels like a gross misdeed to me, that directly violated rfc8890 "the internet is for end users". Flutter or somethint similar maybe possibly perhaps might some day conceivably eventually rebuild enough platform that the major gaps and faults and chasms of it might be less terribly ruinous, but users will never have anywhere near as much agency. User scripting will always be at the extent the developer's enable it. Its terrible to think of the web denigrated to being as closed foreign and black box as regular apps are, would set back human conputing's one little tenous bridge of progress back immeasurably. None the less, theres folks who believe the developer experience trumps all other concerns, and are still full steam ahead on canvas based systems. One of those people is Ian Hixie, former editor of the HTML specification, who authored what is sort of the manifesto of the canvas-based effort, Towards a Modern Stack, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34612696 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34612696 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1peUSMsvFGvqD5yKh3GprskLC3KVdAlLGOsK6gFoEOD0/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1peUSMsvFGvqD5yKh3GprskLC...
