Actually, its the other way around. The web platform is the future even within the realm of performance.

Once technologies like Servo and Web Assembly become part of the standard platform, it will be the preferred platform for performance reasons. There will likely be nothing that can give you the same performance and also be cross OS platform.

There will always be portable C. There will always be GTK/Qt/etc.

The only thing that is really incompatible is Windows, and Microsoft working hard to make that less and less true.

Servo will be a drastic improvement, though.
