There is nothing wrong with server side events. I even played with them already. But for bi-directional communication we do have to use websockets and it's the good tool for the job. If you'd like to see maybe event source is something that could be added to websocketd as additional protocol, start conversation in issues, nothing is wrong with pitching an idea. We already got cgi and static html because it's not always about websockets, sometimes you want other things handy.
