I dont know what to make of this article in particular. It's an interesting idea, and I believe the malleability aspect a lot. I think there's some very interesting suggestions here, and potential, but Im still pretty hesitant to speak for this.

But I do think it's remarkable & ultra noteworthy how vastly more plausible this suggestion is for the web than any other comparable computing system. The web has the malleable genetics to at least begin to entertain these ideas. Doing this anywhere else would require access to source, recompiling apps, or obscenely gross & mangled OCR+++ capabilities. The web attempt would be a high fidelity output, where-as all alternatives (other than being able to recompile arbitrary apps) would be incredibly funky.

The web has some really amazing pro-human superpowers, abilities ro be reshaped. The suggestions here of style transfer & api-itication are incredibly real potentials, bcause the web is so surpassing more human & rich than the typical computing world, where processes are isolated & secured compiled-down products uninterested in participating openly with the world.

Meanwhile & in-contrast, the former html5 editor is proposing a new world where all this creativity & flexibility is utterly impossible. Along with flutter/canvaskit already shipping this "new" anti-malleable bold-new-vision. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34612696
