getting blurred.
this whole thing is complete disaster. instead of designing a
simple
virtual machine with well-defined commands, they keep uglifying
already
ugly js. this is so bad that i believe that we will live with
that for
many years (really, i see that the worst technology with as
many ugliness
one can stuff into it usually wins; that "web shit" is ugly
enough).
Thankfully mobile OSes and desktop app stores seem to be on the
right track to kill this.
