It's a fantasy of mine because I'm afraid that without a way to port and run native code from the web there will be no way to preserve software long term as part of our cultural legacy. Software has to be able to run or else it will be ignored and discarded, preserving source code alone isn't enough. Only things that remain a part of current cultural interest get preserved.
