"software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster"[1]
I was showing a junior some plpgsql yesterday and he asked me what languages use BEGIN, END etc. So I pointed him to Pascal and ended up myself on wikipedia where I (re)found the above quote.
One of the points people normally make for HTML/JS/CSS is that the browser is sandboxed and there is already a well defined standard on how to serve dynamic content to a browser, across ALL platforms.
This might change with all platforms moving to a package manager or walled garden, and we then might start to see some "native" code again. But even the new platforms op-in for web tech like Metro etc.
But meh I'm rambling again so I will leave who ever will read this comment with a link to vsftpd[2] security section because I liked the idea of sandboxing a application with chroot and with that you can start to build a "Secure" native app.
