Yes, I'm quite aware of what Angular, Backbone, etc do. I'm also quite aware of what MVC is thankyouverymuch. But I was specifically referring to data processing on the client and while those frameworks obviously can do that the page you linked describes where they farm it out to other cloud services. This is obviously faster than doing it on the client.. and is exactly what I was talking about. The future you linked to is the exact opposite of doing data processing on the client. So why you'd call client-side data processing the future with that link as evidence I don't know. ... unless you don't actually understand what "client side" means I guess. Client Initiated Processing !== Clint Side Processing.
