[webkit-dev] Single-page apps without Javascript W3C proposal interest?

[Benjamin Poulain]

IMHO JavaScript is a better solution for this. Instead of baking a 
custom solution into the engine that solve a single use case, we have a 
fast lightweight language that let you solve any use cases you have.

Did any vendor actually respond positively to the whatwg proposal?
