I really miss Macromedia Flash. There wasn't a single tech like Flash and SWF format which flourished with so many indie games and animated movies available without any extra downloads (other than Flash Player). Barier to entry was so low.

Now, take SVG, it has potential to do everything what SWF could. But there is no editor like Flash and scene/object based coding solution like ActionScript. And each browser has own quirks so only simple SVG is guaranteed to be displayed everywhere.

I think web assembly can be comparable, e.g. unity/unreal/godot can compile to the browser pretty easily.

The problem is that each of these apps can be quite bloated and in the tens of MBs range not the usual single digit MB.

Nice things with SVG
