All,
A criticism by Dr. Kay, has really stuck with me. I can't remember
the specific criticism and where it's from, but I recall it being
about the how wrong the web programming model is. I imagine he was
referring to how disjointed, resource inefficient it is and how it
only exposes a fraction of the power and capability inherent in the
average personal computer.
So Alan, anyone else,
what's wrong with the web programming mode and application
architecture? What programming model would work for a global-scale
hypermedia system? What prior research or commercial systems have
any of these properties?
The web is about the closest we've seen to a ubiquitous deployment
platform for software, but the confluence of market forces and
technical realities endanger that ubiquity because users want full
power of their devices plus the availability of Internet connectivity.
