Stopped reading at "Why Java"

Not to be confused with Quic.

Sounds like it's VNC that pretends to be open source but has a shady website that wants you to pay millions to use it.

Flutter is quickly shaping up to be the best way to accomplish this. The new renderers landing on all platforms including web are really nice. I've ignored Flutter until now, but it's getting too good to ignore for much longer.

Well his vision so far for Twitter seems to be to turn it into an anti-woke, advertiser shaming, ad supported platform. I'm sure there are a few people excited about that, but I'm not sure it's as visionary and uniting as something like putting people on Mars.

WASM will bring back a lot of the web devs to native, but C++ via ecmascripten sucks balls compared to the alternatives.

Should be titled "Why one web pioneer thinks it's time to bundle more apps with your browser and change the way it does tabs". I like Arc, but they aren't reinventing the browser.

Bun is amazing. Super early with some quirks but I use it whenever I can. So much nicer than the alternatives even with the early buggy bits.

The implementation makes some weird choices like rebuilding a bunch of services like DNS, cert, weird dependency on SQLite. Wish people would stop reimplementing Kubernetes and just build on top of it.

I think "per-user" is probably the wrong killer feature for something like this. Much more potential in shared distributed processes that support multiple users (chat, CRDT/coauthoring). Appears that the underlying layer can probably do that.

In any case, super cool idea, and I hope something like this lands in the serverless platforms from all the major cloud providers. It's always been mind blowing to me that Google Cloud Functions supports websockets without allowing you to route multiple incoming connections from different users to the same process. That simple change would unlock so many useful scenarios.

Because it is a GUI mashup built on top of a dozen dated, crappy, products that don't work well alone or together, and strung together with fishing wire and duck tape. The fact that it even runs at all is an accomplishment.
