What if JS over gemini:// would only be able to render some things and would not have network access? It just is a question of what your html renderer allows. Add Lua if you think that's better! But you will have the same problems if embedded Lua can do network stuff.

...or let's just P2P our Emacsens... the last non divisive browser... :-P

gemini doesn't at the moment have any formalized systems for client-side scripting, effectively eliminating the need for that, and most of the gemini community seems pretty opposed to ever implementing such a thing, so it doesn't seem like that will ever change.
