I may be the only one excited about this, but I think it's awesome. I imagine a future where a "web browser" is just a WebGL + Networking + JS API, and you just load in HTML5.js. The benefit of something like this is that it puts the power back in the hands of the people. You don't have to worry about Microsoft ignoring standards, you just load in the HTML5.js that you know works. Want a new feature? Fork HTML5.js on…

Have you checked out http://breach.cc/ and http://breach.github.io/exo_browser/ ? > The ExoBrowser is a scriptable platform designed to ease the experimentation with new concepts for the Web Browser. > The ExoBrowser exposes its API (parts of the Chromium Content API + a Simple View Model) in Javascript and enables the implementation of a fully functional browser entirely out of it (as a Javascript/HTML/CSS app)

#23All in a 50KB js file. 1. Why? 2. How is this humanly possible?

IE JS API would still be outdated.

I imagine a future where an "operating system" is just a OpenGL + Networking + JS API, and you just load in HTML5.exe. The benefit of something like this is that it puts the power back in the hands of the people. You don't have to worry about Google and Apple restricting what you can do, you just load in the HTML5.exe that you know works. Want a new feature? Fork Firefox on GitHub.
(I don't want to belittle the technical achievement here - it sounds pretty cool! But I can't help but wonder wheter using the CLR or the Java VM wouldn't be better for many use cases, or even plain x86 machine code with virtualization.)
