I mean, how can you even talk to someone that thinks it's a bad idea that, (this is about 24 minutes in) say, there are formats in the world like HTML that, horrors, require a program that understands how to parse and interpret HTML? Who believes that instead you should just ship around untrusted code around the internet that "knows how to render itself"? Does he really think this is even bypassing the problem, as if you didn't have to standardize on the language itself, or does it not count as any effort if we all just standardized on his favorite language? Does he still think the internet is full of nice people that only want to communicate interesting ideas to you?
