@ity @deltatouch @lk108 on which of your platforms does none of the clients listed here work if we may ask? https://support.delta.chat/t/list-of-all-known-client-projects/3059
@delta @deltatouch @lk108 web, various embedded systems, hobby OSes
Implementing WebXDC is too much work, and gonna be very slow even if done, on those platforms
It's a highly non-portable spec.
@ity @deltatouch @lk108 we have no shortage of specialists telling us that what we are doing can not work, makes no sense, etc. Thing is: when it's about doing something that has been done before, then by all means listen to the experts. But if engaging into something new that hasn't been done before, then beware of experts. They are only going to tell you why it doesn't work. Original source for this advise is Heinz v. Foerster, one of the more interesting cyberneticians half a century ago.
@delta @deltatouch @lk108 It's not about whether it can work or not
It can work. But you are making the lives of those that wish to impl the spec (like me) needlessly difficult. It's not a portable specification that supports "all platforms".
