Rails but for JavaScript. Today you have to pick and validate a crypto framework to do token based auth. Or maybe not JavaScript. A distributed application framework. You run software on your OWN machine, offloading computation and storage needs to other trusted nodes. Framework should have the trust system, a data store that automatically replicates, system to explicitly show what data is being shared with whom. Eff…
How about a music player based on YouTube(maybe built on yt-dl, and X-platform), because of youtube's poor support for listening to music.

Well, you'd ideally create different VMs for where you want barriers to data leak-age via cookies, history, session- + localstorage, and loading assets/scripts/etc from or making requests cross domain to 3rd parties. But to your point, even within a given browser/VM/whatever that I intend on using for a single task. I'd still eventually end up slipping up and going to a site that should have been in a different group…
Maybe visiting a site would locally select the appropriate group that site was assigned to. For example, going to gmail.com would automatically use the "Google" Group. If a site is assigned to multiple groups, prompt the user to select a group. An unassigned site would use a default group, or create its own group for return visits, or create a temporary group.
I wish we had a messaging protocol/standard so that we could chat with anyone regardless of the messaging app, just like you can browse (mostly)any websites regardless of your web browser. I would also like the protocol/standard to be iterated upon to include new features like bots, stickers, file transfers, etc.
In the age of Single Page Applications that work almost without any backend I am missing a BaaS - Backend as a Service, that would handle users (sign up, sign in, forgot password), their data (save some user generated data, load user generated data) and payment processing at the same time. Right now you could try to combine Kinvey with Stripe or Cognito with PayPal but it is not easy at all.
>Go wild, dream big. I want a DNS replacement that allows you to "subscribe" to TLDs, each with their own policies and practices. Domains are identified by a tuple of a public key and the domain name, so that if someone wants to share a domain, the browser can let them select the host they want. It should have 3 (or more) distinct modes of operation: Gossip, where popular portions of the zone are continually shared b…
- Realtime DBaaS/BaaS using GraphQL - ie, like Parse or Firebase but where you don't have to use a vendor-specific client, just GraphQL. Sane configuration of permissions/access rules. - Functions-as-a-service with a better UX than AWS Lambda - Server-side-rendering-as-a-service for React-based SPAs. When a request comes in it renders the page, sends it up to the client, and automatically 'solves' hydration of data.…

I agree with you both that it would be amazing to see this in Haskell, and that Java (which I'm using full time now, after years of rails) is close-ish to what you want. I think this is what Scala is supposed to be, but I'm not sure it has realized that potential. You should look into Kotlin - you'll still miss Haskell's type system, but it's a good bit nicer than Java, and has a lot less history.
did you switch to java for work reasons or because you wanted to?
