Something that never really worked was cached versions of jquery (and similar) from cdn. One reason is that browsers didn't give them any particular precedence. The other was that jquery was moving quite fast compared to devs using it so as an end user i nearly never benefited from the caching. I wonder if this might work better for language run times. Maybe browsers could be provided with some manifest saying 'this site needs python 3+' or 'this site needs python 3-3.5' so that end users end up with less runtimes cached.
