It doesn't address one important design principle in the least: Separating content from layout and logic. The web fails here today, and none of these new technologies suggests that it won't in the future. And if it's not WebGL, then we'll just get more flash apps, and maybe other proprietary runtimes in the future. Where's this separation of data and presentation? Where's the semantic web that's been talked about for 10 years? Seriously, today's web sucks, and it doesn't look good for tomorrow's. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
