am I the only one that saw that there's a whole new replacement for the web with a new browser and HTML+CSS+Lua instead of Javascript?

It had a terrible name though and I can't find it right now

@feld Looks terrible. Developing a browser in a game engine means zero accessibility with multiple different assistive technologies. Using parts of HTML means you still need to develop an entire browser engine, or use webkit or something, meaning you're open to all of those security problems and can't really leave big tech behind. They could have at least used XHTML 1.1, meaning that you can parse it with an XML library. LUA, in fact, has a perfectly good XML library; you could parse the page in the same language as the scripts are written in...that's bound to have some advantages. And what's the point of replacing HTTPS if you're just going to re-invent all of the centralization and problems with SSL certs? This is in a super weird and awkward spot where it's both doing too much, and not enough, at the same time. Who's it for? It won't solve any of the issues with centralization, tracking, or privacy. It depends on big tech to exist. So why not just use the current web? Or if you don't like the current web, why not use something like Gemini?
