      Ignoring the whataboutism, there are important questions we should tease out and address head-on: the role of FOMO in developer decision-making and how adjacency-theory explains suppressed use

      First, and I can't say this often enough, many Fugu capability requests come *directly* from top app developers.

      Pushing past the tactical, developers *frequently* express concern to us that they'll "miss out" on capabilities if they build for the web (vs. native). This is a key driver of short-term decision making in our experience. Folks don't want to be caught flat-footed vs. competition

      Historically, you could trust the web *not* to expand it's capability footprint. In the comparative lens, this means it's a dead language. You'll never expect it to keep up and deliver what you need to enable the new experiences you will want to deliver. FOMO suppresses interest

      How do you work against this? A steady string of safe-but-capable expansions that meet clearly-articulated developer needs. And the "steady" part matters. If we pull up the drawbridge at any point and say "no more!", everyone will understand the web can't support them.

      Now, of course, this is exactly what some vendors have done. Little surprise, then, that tools like Electron have gotten traction in their proverbial backyards.

      Every metaplatfrom naturally expands to provide capabilities developers need and that is available on *most* hardware and *most* OSes -- or that metaplatform dies.

      When in the past ~30 years did the web die?

      I was imprecise in my language, apologies. I should have said "becomes unhealthy, preventing future growth" rather than "dies"

      I should have noted that systems that get big enough to have legacy never truly "die", they just stop being how new things get done. They get unhealthy, then they stop mattering. This can happen to the web, and I'm arguing that's what I observe in real time today.

      IRC still exists -- it may be growing in absolute terms! -- but nobody thinks it's the future of chat for most people.

          same statement was made about vinyl records... I'm using IRC when I need to get in touch with the actual(TM) devs :D That said, it *does* seem to be more effective reaching @ZephyrIoT devs on @SlackHQ (hipsters...grrrr)
