A Taste of JavaScript's New Parallel Primitives
&gt; if we want JS applications on the web to continue to be viable alternatives to native applications on each platform<p>This is where I disagree with the direction Mozilla has been going for years. I don&#x27;t want the web to be a desktop app replacement with HTTP as the delivery mechanism. I&#x27;m fine with rich single page web apps, but I don&#x27;t understand the reason why web apps need complete feature parity with desktop apps.<p>Why not let the web be good at some things and native apps be good at others?
