Can you (or any of the others making this same argument) explain to the rest of us why one bunch of bits running in environment a is 'real' and another bunch running in environment b is 'fake' (or 'unreal', or 'toy', or whatever disparaging term you care to use)? Last time I looked, JavaScript IS turing-complete.
- jebblue 14y agoI can't speak for others, when I was a kid, computers were powerful machines locked away and operated by seemingly mythical people. When I started reading about them I realized quickly there's nothing mythical, magical or mysterious about them at all. Then I wondered why isn't this power available to anyone, to everyone? It dawned on me in a flash, power and control. I keep the cloud at an arm's distance, those computing resources are not owned or controlled by me. The cloud, given full control like a ChromeBook, takes all of the control away from me.
