That's how every windowing system should work.

Instead of deploying binaries, just fetch some script and execute it.

I dream of the day an OS will allow a scripting language to do the "easy" stuff, like buttons, interfaces, etc.

Of course you might still need to allow the installation of signed binaries for certain programs that need to make some low level stuff, like databases, 3D games.

I wonder if an OS which is very flexible and easy on the developer can win though.
