> in the modern web world you often have persistent client server connections

Is this actually true though? I’d be interested if you know any data backing that perspective. I only know what I’ve worked on and my anecdotal experience doesn’t match with this statement. But I know my sphere doesn’t represent the whole. In terms of state, by now there are many ways of dealing with persistence and reconnection. Not only are most of those problems solved with existing technologies and protocols but they’re everywhere in web dev. Maybe we’re talking past each other? Did I misunderstand your point?
