Yes. I hope more people understand this: the browser is a Inner Platform- it's just a portability layer over OS, so that app developers can deliver the same thing to multiple OSes, without making the app portable.

These days, you can compile a Qt app with a web view with a single source for all three major platforms.

You can have that with any language that has a rich standard library (batteries included)

C and C++ are the exception as they were tied to nothing more that a basic POSIX like compatibility.
