This would be so good. As someone who fully switched to Firefox on Android I hate that chrome webview is a thing.
Why does that bother you? There's also a Firefox Webview you can use system-wide. I think only Google apps insists on opening Chrome's webview.
banning patients
Did you mean patents?
Do you apply the same reasoning for software that use javascript, the JVM, the CLR or some other kind of VM?
These are server CPUs, not something you wanna put in your laptop or desktop.
write only medium
I guess you meant "write once"?
Anyway, this won't prevent attacks that somehow swap the CD being read, or the backend logic for where to read the data from.
You cited Git as an example, but in Git it's possible to e.g. force-push a branch and if someone later fetches it with no previous knowledge they will get the original version.
The problem is the "with non previous knowledge" and is the reason this isn't a storage issue. The way you would solve this in git would be to fetch a specific commit, i.e. you need to already know the hash of the data you want.
For the Wayback Machine this could be as simple as embedding that hash in the url. That way when someone tries to fetch that url in the future they know what to expect and can verify the website data matches the hash.
This won't however work if you don't already have such hash or you don't trust the source of it, and I don't think there's something that will ever work in those cases.
If you think this is normal then imagine what other people think of the linux community though!
But here's the issue: the parent comment didn't even provide reasons why they think Windows sucks or examples/episodes where this was a problem for them. It adds nothing to the discussion, just free hate.
Lots of major companies like Microsoft and IBM also contribute to Linux, it doesn't make them saints nor even necessarily compare to what they get for using the volunteer dev work inside Linux.
Most of those companies actually contribute to the kernel or to foundational software used on servers, but few contribute to the userspace for desktop consumers on the level that Valve does.
Zig is "c", but modern and safe.
Zig is safer than C, but not on a level that is comparable to Rust, so it lacks its biggest selling point. Unfortunately just being a more modern language is not enough to sell it.
So imagine if trying to fit in a C-like cousin failed
C++ was not added to Linux because Linus Torvalds thought it was an horrible language, not because it was not possible to integrate in the kernel.
CEO bonuses should be awarded 10 years after their mandate
It also seems to require a GC though...
newxml is GC only, for simplicity sake.
Sorry, by looking more into it I realized webview is actually a different thing than what I was thinking about.
