Improving speed is now overengineering apparently, but the same people would complain about how horrible web dev is if it weren't improved. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

It's layers upon layers of indirection and then massive layers of optimization on top of it. What should happen is that we take the lessons that we learned from this current iteration of the web and desktop and turn it into a new generation while cutting out the crap we don't need.

People are doing this already. Flutter is one example where it's compiled to Wasm. Other languages have Wasm web GUIs as well.

Thats not a true comparison, MAYBE that was sort of a thing back in the IE6 era. Today the web is capable of "a good enough" UX for most things. But how we do interactive apps on the web today is just madness. Most sites dont need anything close to React, and those who do could have just used something more simple without the madness what is the react ecosystem / bundlers / packages etc.

Its 2026. You thinking you know more about other people's requirements in an absolutely enormous field is just plain naive and its embarrassing reading this stuff on HN.

Not sure what your point is? Are you saying that this mountain of complexity is somehow justified for the 99% of stuff out there? Complex stuff can and should be as simple as possible, and that something a good software developer strive to do.

But now we have abstractions upon abstraction, slow ands heavy solutions for almost every thing.

Software is slower than ever, not because of hardware, but because of the endless bloat and abstraction every framework brings.
