Single-thread could be a thing if it's like a full-stack all sitting in a web browser--like Dioxus is going toward..

If a web browser is in a glorified chromebook like a 2025 Macbook Air, indeed there's a lot of breathing room. A lot of ram. Processing power. Cores. It's nice. I get that.

And then you can do off-line first: meaning use the cached local storage available to WASM apps.

Then whatever needs to go to the mother ship, then call web apis in the cloud.

That would, in theory, basically giving power back from "net pc theory of things" back to "fat client"--if you ask the grey-haired nerds among you. And you would gain something.

But outside of a glorified chromebook like a 2025 Macbook Air--we have to remember that we are working with all kinds of web devices--everything from crap phones to satellite servers with terabytes of ram--so the scalability story as we have it isn't entirely wrong.

I have been to U of Toronto, very smart people. But honestly this is a troll piece. Doesn't go into any depth and one-sided. Unhelpful. I think U of Toronto's reputation would be better served by something more sophisticated than this asinine blog entry.
