Having specialized in the web stack, it really pains me to see this fail. However, it is unreasonable and counterproductive to expect end user devices to continually increase in computing power and memory. The future, for most users, is in smaller, cheaper, more deeply integrated devices, not in faster stronger devices. Just look at the smart watches of today, the AR kits of tomorrow, the joule-thief powered IoT devices that don't require a power connection. This is where we are headed, not towards epic gaming rigs for everyone. I can only hope that in time, we will develop more efficient native implementations of the DOM, even if that means a major breaking change. IMO, the web layer is well suited to bridging the divide between vastly dissimilar hardware platforms, especially as the number of unique platforms explodes into a lush jungle of diversity and ubiquity.
