A New Web?

So there's the web browser which everyone has, but JavaScript is slow and insecure.

But there's a bunch of tech out there that doesn't really need JavaScript; Rust => WebAssembly. So why are we bending over backwards to fit things into the browser?

What if we had a modular way to share "sites" that were really wasm apps. We could use 1 "wasm browser" and just run these apps.

If these wasm apps output a display to egui, we could load these wasm apps as plugins and just run the thing. Can we load a WIT component into egui and have it output the right display? If so, it's so on.
