Just saw this on Twitter: "RT @johnolilly: I miss the web so much already -- I mean, I just saw him. Seemed like he was doing great. Didn't even say he was sick."

I almost fell off my seat at comment #15 at BoingBoing:
"Tim Berners-Lee here.
I'm sorry. We lost. Now everyone get out. They need to build a big Gopher machine here. Sorry."

What, are you implying that ObjC isn't JavaScript v2.0? For shame, sir. It's just as powerful, just as secure...

Clearly I'm wrong: https://cappuccino.org/ https://cappuccino.org/learn/tutorials/objective-j-tutorial.php
or: https://code.google.com/p/cocoawebtoolkit/ (though I saw that one and thought 'hey, I met that guy. he didn't seem /that/ crazy')

Favorite quote:
"The current status of this project is proof-of-concept. It's possible to trans-compile ObjC classes into ECMAScript but there's no Ajax library."
JS without Ajax? Awesome. Next up: Assembler to DOS Batch File Language converter. The conversion is 100% accurate, but the output feature is still in development...

I quite like the tone of ReadWriteWeb's 'The Web Is Undead' (https://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/the_web_is_undead.php)
"Over-enthusiastic proponents - Millennialists - seem to be convinced that every burp in online tech, every new tool, every momentary trend, every relocation of a dialog box on a popular site, hails the onset of a Brave New World."
..
"Web 2.0
"This one has died a couple times. Last year, Tech Crunch declared Web 2.0 (also known as the social web, the read/write web, the live web, the webbity-web-web web) dead. ... Four years before the TC post, ZDNet proclaimed Web 2.0 so dead it never actually existed in the first place. (I wonder if these folks ever feel like the guy with the sign proclaiming "The End is Nigh!")"
