All of that is extremely easy. Except the blur that is a bit more expensive. Depends on the strength of the blur etc but a low end laptop can still do all this at 4k hundreds of fps.

Sure, extremely easy. 9k commits. And it's still fairly limited and doesn't handle text for example.pic.twitter.com/ddRSzWnHM3

Because it is being done wrong. My argument is, the web is a dumb cluster-f that makes everything too hard and complicated. Do you think a snapshot of a repo of things being too hard and complicated is somehow a counter example?

What's wrong here? Webrender is just canvas lib. It's using GPU. It's like ganesh from skia.

Let me ask you this. Why can't a web app be written in C and use the vulkan graphics api? The answer to that question is the problem.

You can do that if you don't care about accessibility, just compile to wasm.

With no WASM! Why can I not compile C to say llvm IR and have that be by webapp? Why can I not just run code on the machine? These are the problems. The Web is in a local maxima, if you tore down and built from scratch you could make something out of this world to most.

wasm is safe native. you don't want to execute arbitrary unsafe code.

Except, imagine if desktop operating systems had kept developing instead of stopping around 2000, and actually supported this as a use case (the way e.g. iOS does now).

I believe, robust process isolation and access control has been there since at least Windows NT 4 (circa 1996). The mechanism is there, it's just a dumb convention (a lazy default?) that on Windows basically everything runs as root.

It's not just running as root, it's, everyone seeing the whole filesystem, everyone being able to send network packets if they want, etc.

Yep, that too. Then again, the mechanism has been there (NTFS permissions). It just wasn't made easy for the user to e.g. download an .exe from the internet and run it under its own unprivileged user account that can only write to its own isolated part of the filesystem, etc.
