In the days of AJAX a friend asked mockingly, why xml? why JSON? Why not HTML? We didn't really have an answer.
He wrote a few lines of js grabbing a div from a different page. The "parsing" was a split()[1] on a formatted comment.
I still don't have an answer.

"The concept of an "HTML5 supercomputer" refers to a system where HTML5 is used as the foundational language for the entire computing infrastructure, including the operating system and applications, rather than just for web content. This approach leverages the widespread familiarity and versatility of HTML5 among developers to build integrated and secure systems.
An example of this concept was articulated by Trevor Milton, founder of Nikola Corporation, who described the infotainment system in Nikola trucks as an "HTML5 supercomputer." In this context, HTML5 was not just for displaying web pages, but served as the core language for the entire system, allowing for custom chip development and a unified data network where all components communicate using the same standard. This approach offers several potential advantages:
While HTML5 itself is a markup language primarily for structuring web content, its use in a "supercomputer" context highlights a shift towards leveraging web technologies for broader system development, moving beyond traditional operating system and application architectures."
