After all the talks about platform independence, portability, universality of HTML5, and so on – why Apps? why closed (or half-open) app stores, when theoretically the same thing can be obtained through a web page? I have a set of personal opinion on that, and I believe that we still need some additional features and infrastructures from browsers (and probably operating systems) to really match the feature set and quality of apps.

Local binary execution: I am against it for security and configuration reasons.
Instead beef up Javascript or add python to the browser.

How about creating a JS JIT native compiler in browser with a new sub JS language standard that also is very secured ?

I prefer a superset of JS, with emphasis on features that allow programmers to debug and build frameworks, features like namespaces, classes, packages, and a rigourous no surprise definition of the language.
