HTML5 isn’t Facebook’s ‘biggest mistake’

Matt Asay writing for The Register on Zuckerberg’s recent Disrupt comments where he dumped on HTML5:

There’s a lot of blame to throw around, and HTML5 is only one target. Instead of pointing his finger at HTML5, Zuckerberg might be better served by looking inside his company to see how it was deployed. Facebook’s approach to HTML5 has been hobbled by politics and a lack of expertise, both in HTML5 and in mobile. Zuckerberg is correct that today’s HTML5 tools aren’t perfect, but in this case the problem may lie more with the craftsman than with the tools.

Bingo.
