I think your comment would be clearer if you could answer the question "what would seem to be a better alternative?".
Google's PNaCl is more elegant since it doesn't involve js-that-is-also-bytecode but it accomplishes essentially the same task.
Creating a new cross-platform UI framework would be essentially recreating HTML5 anyway, so I don't think there would be a big advantage there.
- nitrogen 13y agoA cross-platform UI framework would look almost nothing like HTML5. The document model is a significant hindrance to widget-based UI design that is just barely beginning to be worked around with new CSS and HTML features that still lack browser support. UI design benefits from a completely different structure than text-oriented documents -- layout managers, containers, spacers, grids, reusable components, nearly all missing from current browsers.

- yetanotherphd 13y agoI don't quite understand what you mean. Are you just saying that my statement makes no sense?
- alok-g 13y agoI have the same question as you (as in, I found your answer sensible).
