   > For the first time, a meaningful number of developers are openly questioning the web platform. Definitely not true. People were questioning the web app before there were a meaningful amount of web apps.

    hmm, but is it important that the small tools are actually developed separately? or just that you can call them separately? An example would be busybox, which can decide which executable to pretend to be by the target name.

    see how zinc does it https://github.com/hackndev/zinc EDIT: Zinc seems to not have been updated in awhile I'm not sure what the current status is of other mcu efforts. I bet some of the other rust folks can elabor
