I wish an embedded TCL won over JS.
Also, I loved mozplugger. Embedded applications inside the browser.
For the younger HN users, mozplugger basically opened some videos/ audio / documents, by simply embedding some native window from an application inside the browser.
That's it. For Windows users, imagine the Sumatra PDF subwindow inside a browser tab to open the PDF's. Or VLC for HD videos.
Video playing with mplayer under Linux was really fast in late 00's/early 10's.
Far better than today with Chrome embedding maybe ffmpeg like ass, not delivering the whole performance. Because even with WebkitGTK4, running MPV with some h264 based settings outperforms Luakit on <video> tags by a huge margin.
