Isn't it a shame that we can only have one program installed on our computers.

Imagine (if you can!) being able to have two programs, one (program A) that supports JS and all that shite, and another (program B) that supports XSLT and all that shite. If you're still with me imagine that program A could just call program B when it detects stuff that it doesn't support and vice versa.

I know, I know, a measly 16 core CPU with 32Gi of memory is not going to be capable of such feats, but one can dream...

And how does a "web" work, which links "Hoyertext" between those places using XSLT and those which don't?

And well, the browser tries to be the only program one uses, where all applications run inside it.
