Use browser and web for websites, not applications. For apps, create native downloadable desktop software, which also work offline.

I work at Google (the original and worst offender of this) and I advocate for native binaries all the time.

I prefer having all my apps in the browser.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what they're doing in this announcement. They're rewriting `tsc` in Go and shipping native binaries, rather than shipping JS.

Didn't quite get, they compile ts to js using the compiler now written in Go, right? But we as end users still get js, not a native app.
