> Native apps talk directly to the operating system, while web apps talk to the browser, which talks to the OS. Thus there’s an extra layer web apps have to pass, and that makes them slightly slower and coarser than native apps. This problem is unsolvable.
But what if the browser is the OS?
I agree with the point though that we shouldn't be trying to emulate native to the T with web applications, that we shouldn't be stuffing them full of JavaScript. I think the Google IO 2015 web app [1] is a good example of what can be done on the web right now with minimal overhead.
