I'm using "Better is better" rhetoric. Obviously we would rather have had a Turing-incomplete language for 3rd party scripts, perhaps even more restricted -- CSS atop HTML these days is TC, IIRC. For 1st parties, sandboxed JS is good until the 1st party gets infected/goes rogue.

Noting web app vs. text-y infosystem fixed points may miss more than transclusion (as
@sayrer pointed out in protected tweets). Web mashups, crash-and-carry, hyperlinks in/among apps suggest backward look at any point cannot encompass future. Don't split the Web into exe vs dat! -
Shrug, I think the distinction is pretty robust. Does the person serving the data get to run code? I mean I guess we can split hairs about computation theory but like FTP, IRC, Gopher and NetNews were totally inert data. It’s not that blurry a line in practice.

I’m hardly a fan of all the new trends: I’ve always been deeply skeptical of React, for instance. But I actually like the “plain old Web apps” dev experience, especially with TypeScript to make JS nicer/more scalable.
