Notes
    gollark: Browsers provide a useful cross-platform environment which is well-sandboxed but still has decent access to a lot of stuff, which allows you to run an application in a few seconds without installing anything, and which can interact easily with some server somewhere.
    gollark: The interweb™ is *good*.
    gollark: It would take much longer to implement, be significantly less readable, run somewhat faster, and have more security issues.
    gollark: Also, C makes sense for some things, but not that many. Programming my current eternally unfinished web project in C would be extremely stupid.
    gollark: I will not go away unless I go away.
