This is a question I asked myself recently when a client requested this new fangled PWA nonsense  . What does it actually mean, and why would you want it.
Turns out, it's actually pretty cool  and let's you do all kinds of stuff like support your webapp working while it's offline or in bad network reception, push messaging, camera and location access, etc.
Of course, these technologies are not called PWA, but they fall under the PWA umbrella, ie, Progressively support advanced features without requiring them for your app to work. Where the term then comes from is you write a web app, and then add stuff like offline caching, location awareness, media access in such a way that the app works to some degree at least even if the browser it's viewed from doesn't support those features.
Check out Google's work on this for some excellent examples and explanation (with a top notch framework to boot)

It progressively takes over your browser.

The idea seems good, but I find webassembly a better approach. No JavaScript required, use HTML with C, C++, Rust, Go, C#, Java, Kotlin, Python, or Ruby. Client side or server side. It runs compiled in the browser, with all the same security limits.
My experience with webassembly has been with Microsoft Blazor and C#, but I have been pleased with it. Works in every browser the same (so far), except - ironically - IE. Even MS knows IE is dead.

Repent, repent, fools! The end is nigh! 
Sorry, I got all excited, I just realised that when I create a new project with VS2019, there is an option to create new WPF App using .NET Core (3.0) runtime and SDK.
I can even publish it as self-contained targeting win-x64 environment. Is that a .NET native compilation? I know not, but I hope so... 
Easy as, one, two, click!

Quote: 'The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
'The Second Coming' by William Butler Yeats

Aaaand… it says, "Hello, world"?

Nah, it broke further ground with an innovative new statement!
"Hello .NET Core!"  
And.... drumroll "Exit" button!

VS2019? Forgive my ignorance, but is that even released?

Ah, that explains it. I never jump on the early wagon with Release candidates. But it's cool to know that the official release is coming soon!

You could try Avalonia?
I know I will!
It's very similar to WPF as well....

The Blackout Day is a Europe wide day of protest, initiated by Wikipedia, but many platforms are joining it. What would be the impact of Article 13? Most platforms would be forced to implement upload filters for copyrigh protected videos, images, photos, other visuals, music, spoken words and text on any user-generated content. The impact on the freedom of speech and the freedom of information would be disastrous.
