Yes, by all means, let's take the web, written in human readable languages which anyone can study, and write, without much if any cs knowledge * and a compiler, and replace it all with closed source, probably proprietary, binaries.

That would be so much better. God forbid the web remain free when it can be clean.

* excepting javascript, but that's not exactly difficult, and hardly necessary, as opposed to having everything written in, say, python.

There's clean and open source. Look at some of the nicer Linux distros.

I'm not entirely sure there's any large and complex C/C++ application which would be considered 'clean' by any generally accepted standard.

And in any case, i'm not sure that requiring anyone who wants to put up their own webpage to know how to write an OS level application necessarily leads to a web with freer expression than exists now.
