Really?

Maybe you’ve seen this conference talk (“The Birth & Death of JavaScript” by Gary Bernhardt).

Shortly, the main idea of this talk is that — browsers will become a new OSs, JS will become a new C language, the software will migrate into the browser.

Yes, this epoch has already started after Chrome OS, Electron, Emscripten and WebAssembly. Why since Electron? Because Electron app is equivalent to the browser that works as a desktop app. It’s a good first step before web will migrate to web: Before all desktop apps can work in the browser, we can try to run a single desktop app on top of the browser.

What’s the problem with Electron?

The main issue with Electron is simple: Electron is Flash for the desktop(great article about Electron).
