Web is a very bad platform from an engineering point of view. The amount
of accidental complexity is astounding, as is the number of useless
layers obfuscating this all. I don't think we are ready to waste the
amount of engineering needed to do something useful at the browser
implementation side of the web (except for things like amber, pharojs
and squeakjs).
