summary
Argument claims the web platform shifts responsibilities among server client browser and standards and that those tensions drive JavaScript's growth. Concrete data: 80% of npm installs are for front end and 14 billion downloads last month. Toolchain evidence: webpack exists to pack node_modules for browsers, ES6 modules plus HTTP/2 promise to eliminate much bundling, and WebAssembly plus Rust demonstrate heavy clients (a browser neural‑network training demo runs offline). The claim: these things reduce build pain and change who does computation.
