Why else would people write a html5 backend for GTK? In my opinion
they're full of shit, but as long as they don't try to impose their
idiocy on me I don't care too much.
The only trouble is that many people think everything on the web is a
good idea because many people think that everything on the web is a
good idea. It's a severe lack of reflection, but that's nothing new.

Fons, you know what? the Faust zita-rev1 version
(still old
one of course..) now even runs in the web, automagically compiled
in asm.js (http://asmjs.org) using latest faust2 git version
and running at acceptable speed in recent browsers like Firefox
or Chrome (still some issues here…) :
And what's the point of running a concert hall reverb in a web
browser ? Providing a new 'business model' for audio engineering ?
With some advertising around it and Google reaping the benifits
and diverting them to some low tax island inhabitated by the
stinking rich and their imported household slaves ? If that is
the future of open source software, I'll step out. Or is it some
form of masturbation for IT engineers who have nothing better to
do ? Or are they too stupid to grok what's going on ?
Ciao,
