I wish there was a serious conversation on how a browser can be productivized and make actual profits. I think that model has the best chances of working out over the long-term in guarding user's privacy - at least for those users willing to pay for it.
Most (all?) companies which developed a browser have lax policies on data privacy. At most those are inline with major directives like GDPR. However, it's not in their best interest to protect / not leverage user data. So the real discussion should've been about the set of features that would attract a sufficiently large user base who would pay ~10$ per month subscription in order to make the model sustainable on the long-term.
But as far as I understand from the spec, sadly, you would still need a separate DSL that would leverage iterations, conditionals and other templating operations on top of web components.
I'm not sure if there's a bias in the results. But it seems that there shouldn't be any bias towards a particular programming language since they have an algorithm for computing the scores based on search queries on popular search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo! etc.
> Go moving from 54th to 13th most popular is pretty astonishing.
I second that and although I've done a number of side projects using golang, if I want to make a presentation of the language , I wouldn't quite know for sure what are the best selling points.
I know it puts a great emphasis on concurrency and their model is rock solid and easy to reason about, but still, given that most of our work is web related and 95% of the time we have to manipulate various resources that persist to some database, I don't have a clear reason on why to choose go over php for example.
