It’s time to kill the web app
I find this unconvincing.<p>Every negative thing said about the web is true of every other platform, so far. It just seems to ignore how bad software has always been (on average).<p>&quot;Web development is slowly reinventing the 1990&#x27;s.&quot;<p>The 90s were slowly reinventing UNIX and stuff invented at Bell Labs.<p>&quot;Web apps are impossible to secure.&quot;<p>Programs in the 90s were written in C and C++. C is impossible to secure. C++ is impossible to secure.<p>&quot;Buffers that don’t specify their length&quot;<p>Is this really a common problem in web apps? Most web apps are built in languages that don&#x27;t have buffer overrun problems. There are many classes of security bug to be found in web apps, some unique to web apps...I just don&#x27;t think this is one of them. This was a common problem in those C&#x2F;C++ programs from the 90s the author is seemingly pretty fond of. Not so much web apps built in PHP&#x2F;JavaScript&#x2F;Python&#x2F;Ruby&#x2F;Perl&#x2F;whatever.
