Choose HTML5. Choose Node. Choose your fucking social networking sites. Choose open APIs and a per-year subscription model. Choose microformats, micropayments, and SOA. Choose targeted mobile advertising. Choose user-contributed content. Choose your widgets in a range of matching Bootstrap colors. Choose a CDN, or two, or three. Choose the long-tail and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose surfing on that walled-garden device, a machine you paid for but do not own, watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing videos, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up followers you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose WebAssembly.

(Not my idea, I just updated it for the times. Please don't mod down for foul language kthx, it's a homage to the original.)



What is this? Web Assembly (from the parent comment) will not be a choice for users right?


It's along the lines of the opening to "Trainspotting" a famous novel and film [1]
