Writings
  • A Thanksgiving sermon on the total repeal of the Stamp-Act, preached in Cambridge, New-England, May 20th, in the afternoon preceding the public rejoicings of the evening upon that great occasion (Boston: Printed and sold by Edes and Gill, 1766)[1]

gollark: That's applications' fault.
gollark: The web is actually not too slow thanks to tons of optimization work, WASM, and very fast JITs.
gollark: If someone made a shiny new platform *anyway*, it would lose a significant convenience feature the browser has: you can embed application-y stuff into your regular site, and conveniently use a hypertext™ link to go to your application or whatever.
gollark: Well, as possibly unfortunate as it is, it is VERY COMPLEX to make an application platform which is browser-y in scope and so it'll probably not be replaced.
gollark: Yes, electron bad.
