I'm increasingly baffled by ppl who draw a distinction between "the web" & "the browser". Most interesting properties are abt the browser.
what you're interested in is the more abstract idea of hypermedia or REST, not the web.

I think that it's hypermedia that makes the web a “web”. I guess I'm misunderstanding what you mean by “web” in this context.

that view of the web is too abstract -- making it so abstract loses track of the interop benefits of more concrete
-
links and forms are not abstract.
@TheAmazingRando -
hyperlinks and <form>s are in HTML.
-
and HAL and Cj and Siren and UBER and Mason
@TheAmazingRando -
I don't remember seeing <form> in HAL. HAL is hypermedia but not the web.

See "templated=true" in HAL spec
@mikekelly85@TheAmazingRando -
is there a HAL-HTML? If not, we're not talking about web standards.

The web as we know it emerges when you apply
#REST constraints to distributed systems. Browser is one component. -
Arguably, if u take the client (browser) out of the picture, you don't have a very interesting system :).
