I think Firefox OS could have a successful reboot today. JavaScript frameworks were not what they are now, and between react, vue, svelte, and angular, I think we are in a good place.

I feel electron and tauri have demonstrated how well JavaScript can be used for interface while allowing it to access system resources in a safe way.

Perhaps it should not be run by Mozilla, though, IMO they should focus on Firefox.
