Idea: Programming language / environment for browser-based appsImagine a programming language that can be run in the web browser (like JavaScript can), is faster than C yet platform independant, more expressive/powerful than any of the mainstream programming languages, object oriented, and has AJAX functionality built right in so that making remote function calls is as painless as making standard function calls. How that would revolutionize the Internet. Development costs would plummet and the functionality of of web apps would sky-rocket. (I wonder why Microsoft hasn't done this?) In this model, the web browser becomes even more of an "operating system", and the merits of writing standard Windows applications falls to an all time low. (Oh, maybe that's why) |
