I want to somehow make the point, which seems to be somewhat out of fashion this season (it was a focus a few years ago), that one of the features of Javascript is that it's universal/isomorphic. And that the average computer (and even smartphone) is very powerful, so if storage is abstracted, the distinction blurs. To me, this means features like browser based tools, which are gradually becoming more user friendly, don't really need a "server," except perhaps as a way to coordinate and for long term storage. Eventually, I think a non technical user should be able to create content that contains open-ended dynamic formatting and distributed data based views, without a round trip to a server. If they want to dip into arbitrary Javascript, maybe just re-using a module, fine. Ultimately, the same code might be used in the browser as that in a development process. Current markdown tools and notebooks are headed in this direction. However, trying to use something like mdx-js shows we are far from reasonable bundle sizes when taking this approach. One-tool-per-application might yield the small bundle sizes and dynamism for this goal. Wondering if Rome has this goal in mind. Thanks!
