Of course, it doesn't make "zero" engineering sense in any logical fashion. Only those emotionally distraught by the "imperfection" of JavaScript don't see the utility in applications moving to the web.
Which isn't to say the web is ready. But it will be!
- JoshTriplett 11y agoThankfully, "moving to the web" no longer means JavaScript; WebAssembly can support that kind of thing instead, using arbitrary languages. Also, you say "emotionally distraught" as though there's no technical reason to dislike JavaScript.
- oldmanjay 11y agoThere are technical reasons to dislike literally every technology. I say "emotionally distraught" because JavaScript seems to attract detractors who think that strong feelings are a valid substitute for logic.
- paulasmuth 11y agoI was under the impression that asm.js/emscripten are the new hotness these days? Hence not requiring porting everything to JS manually to bring it "to the web" anymore.
- 0x4a42 11y agoYeah moving the software in the cloud (the new name for the Web) is the right way to go... well if you want to end up with a terminal in your hand and the whole intelligence upper in the cloud... like an interactive TV from the nineties or a french Minitel from the eighties. :)
