Offline as well? Are you guys thinking about getting rid of the X server?

About security, I keep saying that security experts are confident about the Web Runtime so if you have concrete arguments please just expose them.

I'm not sure if you we're referring to me here, but I'm not worried about security in the context of this thread. When I mentioned being frightened, I was referring to resource usage such as the CPU.

Blunt conclusions based on the use of Javascript leave little space for constructive discussion.

I'm in the middle of porting my bluntness to C. I'll post it and the similar Python here soon. Even though some other details are needed for completeness, I think it's a decent demonstration of the technology differences. The default configuration of the Conversation app stutters consistently; it seems simple text that spans more than one line creates problems. According to others, these problems get noticeably worse as the UI configuration gets more complex. That makes sense, but there's no good reason for a simple UI to exhibit such behavior.

I didn't think so anyway, and I decided to demonstrate why. I'm not sure I can be more constructive than that.
