Totally irrelevant example, or 'red herring' as you like to say. If you write an application in HTML5 or GTK, for example, the user should not see any difference. it is about lazy application developers who don't want to make an extra effort to assure more efficient code.
Comletely agree on that m8, though not the way you'd think. Yes programmers are lazy, but thats what drives them and technology forward. Let me explain why. All these interpreted languages(including C and C++) and tools(Qt, TK, GTK, modules etc.) came to life becuse of their 'lazyness'. You could also argue using interpreted languages vs. assemby. We all know the reasons there and I belive we have simillar reasons for this change as well.

Anyone knowlegeble would happen to know a bit more details about this HTML5 buisness? I mean how is it gonna work, will there be a lib that the OS could look at and execute the 'foreign' code or how? I don't mind even if someone just gives a link which explains it in more detail.
