I see you mistake html/css for what they were 30 years ago „documents to be viewed”.

HTML/CSS/JS is the only fully open stack, free as in beer and free and not owned by a single entity and standardized by multinational standardization bodies for building applications interfaces that is cross platform and does that excellent. Especially with electron you can build native apps with HTML/CSS/JS.

There are actually web apps not „websites” that are built. Web apps are not html with sprinkled jquery around there are actually heavy apps.

I'm talking about big ideas. Bigger than WebAssembly. My message was about the future of the www, the next‑gen web, not the past.

OK now I think you don't understand all the implications of the status quo.

Everyone writing about "future view" or "next gen" would have to prove to me that they really understand current state of things.

I spent 10 years teaching computer science and some of my ex-students now work at Google, Amazon, Uber, and Microsoft. They still come by to say hi. It's teachers who inspire change, and we do it by talking about the past, present, and future of tech in classrooms, not online forums.

I like reminding students about Steve Jobs. While others pushed for web apps, he launched the App Store alongside the iPhone in 2008 and changed everything. I ask my students, why not stick with web apps? Why go native?

Hopefully, these questions get them thinking about new platforms, new technologies and solutions, and maybe even spark ideas that lead to something better.

Just picture this: it's 2007, and you're standing in front of Steve Jobs telling him: “You don't understand anything about the web, Steve.”

Yeah, good luck with that. For that reason I'll politely decline your offer to prove how much I know about this topic, but you're more than welcome to share your own perspective.
