Mr. Lusus, let me shake your hand, that's exactly as my own feeling is about the web today. We have tried to push the actual 'web' beyond its capabilities. Our problems are conceptually simple: - HTTP is a request/response protocol. - HTML is a document presentation language. - JavaScript is a poor scripting language. That's the wrong foundation for actual web applications and using duct tape is not the solution. I keep wondering when will people stop making kludges upon that foundation.

HTML5, WebSockets, AJAX and all that new stuff are simply *kludges*, IMHO. More than that, they are a *clear sign* that we need a new foundation for web applications.
