Also, it’s more and more clear that it’s a bad idea that websites can just execute arbitrary code. The JS APIs are way too powerful and complex nowadays.

Javascript in general was a mistake, and always has been.

The web should've had Scheme or Python instead. Or better yet, we shouldn't have given up so quickly on Java Web Start because then we could've had proper web applications with their own windows and native UIs and such.

Maybe websites and apps should’ve stayed separate concepts instead of merging into “web apps”.

Damn straight!
