Startup idea: create a new browser rendering engine

I did not get his definition of "you will win". What would I end up with in the end? Yet another browser that does exactly what FireFox does: reliably displays web content.<p>

I am totally not convinced. What are the <i>tangible</i> benefits of doing this? Looks like he just is suggesting changing the internal architecture of the code without any specific reasons for it other than elegance. A web browser is an extremely large non-trivial program, and rewriting it just to use some new idioms is pretty nutty.

This looks more like using a new rendering engine as an excuse to develop a new programming language. Which doesn't sound too unreasonable, but if that's the goal ROC should be upfront about it.

that is actually a pretty neat idea. but i think it would be hard to release often when doing a complete browser rewrite.

hmm...that is interesting....
