Combine this with the CSS3 specs and the recent move to bring several scripting languages to the w3c should give us a future web where full web apps can be rolled out faster with out the use of a comping or rapid dev tool like rails, or stupid CSS work arounds. In the end the same problem will remain for the web, browsers. Obviously Internet Explorer will still be 9 years behind the rest of the field in taking up the specs so I'll be hacking that shit from my grave, firefox will continue to bloat untill it requires more rescources than Photoshop, and opera will stay looking like a late 90's amature app.. Safari can just fuck off.
Good stuff from google, exciting time to work on the web.
Out of curiosity.... which browser
do you use?
Apart from that, Google Wave will also indeed not work within Opera 10, as the implementation the HTML5 standard with the Presto 2.2 engine is not there yet, which is quite ashame.
Any way, hope that I will receive an invite, although I highly doubt it as I have not received one up till now.
However if anyone did get an invite, can you describe how it works. Does it work in fluently in practice as it did within the presentations? And how does it perform on 'slow' Internet connections?
