Think about that. Once you're writing your app in
WebGL/webasm, what are you really gaining over just making it a
mobile app for iOS/Android, both of which support OpenGL/asm? ;)
Maybe the part where you're maintaining three separate branches
with three different sets of highly-specialised domain specific
knowledge and bugs? And that still only covers mobile;
iOS/Android aren't everything. (Yet. (Thankfully.))
No, I take issue with the text format, especially XML. That
was a horrible idea, regardless of how many good features they
built in.
I wouldn't call any of those things "good features"-- SVG is
fractally terrible.
