I completely understand the author's point, but I always find myself annoyed at these kinds of posts. Maybe it's simply a matter of emphasis. Yes, we have backtracked in so many ways from the speed and functionality of native applications. However, I'd prefer to accept that the web will be the dominant programming platform from now on, and use the capabilities that we had with native applications as inspiration to make the web stack better. Yes, It can be annoying to hear people breathlessly describe the responsiveness of some new javascript framework as if it's something that native apps haven't had for ages. However, I don't think that should make us want to go back. We need to work hard to bring that speed and functionality to the web while taking advantage of the unbelievable capabilities that the web offers that we didn't have before. Besides, the browser as a user interface is only going to last a little while longer. Have you used Janus VR [1]? Have you used it with an oculus rift? It is crude. The graphics are simplistic. But it is AMAZING. It represents the future. The metaverse is almost here, and this is a very exciting time. [1] http://janusvr.com/ http://janusvr.com/
