Bingo... I think we want to create the conditions where a hundred different JavaScript libraries will bloom as developers try out new and innovative ways to bring real-time communications directly into the web browsers and weave it into the fabric of the web.

Yes, some (many? most?) of those libraries will suck badly ... but over time I believe the "jQuery of RTCWEB" will emerge from somewhere and suddenly people all over will be baking RTC directly into web apps using the proverbial less than 20 lines of code.

My 2 cents,
Dan

We can only hope (and, of course, do whatever we can do in order to allow that to happen) that the API WE specify allows someone ELSE to produce a library which then allows users to set up calls using 20 lines :)
