" summary

Argues that the web needs more protocols and fewer ad hoc tool APIs, proposes a concrete Web Test Protocol with a suite/test/result model (example name WTP 1.0), gives pseudocode for serial evaluation of tests, and supplies a reference implementation written in ReasonML/OCaml to show native startups measured in single‑digit milliseconds versus Node’s hundreds of ms. Shows GraphQL’s mutation serial rule as a model, outlines types for suite/test/result, and invites protocol proposals on the project forum.
