I'm looking forward to the day when we have fully functioning web browsers that we have full programmatic control over in all aspects.

With luck all chromium/blink-based browsers will go the way of the dodo bird.

This makes a ton of sense to me with the huge corpus of web standards that exist. In theory we should be able to generate a browser from those specs, it just took a massive amount of effort before. Maybe if things like this get some traction, some of the human time spent implementing the spec could be spent on creating more/better specs, allowing for even better generation too.

This is a neat idea. It opens up a whole new way to make a web app into a native app, while also adding native features not available in web views
