I mean that's fine, but when mixed into a conversation on web standards and APIs it leads to a place where you don't care about any web-specific evolution including most progress on the DOM. You end up only caring about a future of WASM + WebGPU, etc. This is exactly where some of the original React core team said they wanted to go - they just wanted a network connected framebuffer.

Again, fine, but I personally prefer a vibrant web platform that evolves to meet the needs of web developers.

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the change. It will improve things overall, and more power to web-only implementations.

My only intent was to point out another function of the vdom being discussed.

For WASM+WebGPU, I doubt it will ever be up to the same accessibility and feel that react-native-web gives. Just look at Flutter.
