The Future of the Web

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Panel argues the web becomes more powerful through platform APIs not frameworks: browsers now handle video, audio and WebRTC, and CSS layers and variables cut Sass reliance; JavaScript gains native map/filter reducing lodash need. Voice/NLP in the browser and mixed reality interfaces are realistic near-term goals. WebAssembly shows webassembly adoption low—few hands raised—and Flash-era UI ambition returns via JS. Accessibility still fails mostly from HTML: semantic markup causes 90% accessibility issues. Tech radars replace brittle future‑proofing.
