Finally, any interface libraries that will have to be downloaded from web pages should be small. Less than 100k. Page bloat is a real and serious problem.<br>

If part of the download is a standard library, then we'll see more use of cache forever semantics from standardized locations (CDNs). The stackage eco-system with pre-compiled packages can be directly mapped onto a cache forever system and with async download of new versions (like what Chrome and other browsers do today), the problem is mostly converted from a latency issue into a bandwidth issue, and we have plenty of bandwidth.<br><br></div><div>Alexander<br></div></div></div></div>
