I do think this is the immediate future, especially as we utilize typed languages that compile to JS in order to create more complex applications than are feasible with JS alone. I also think that there will be a swing back to an almost complete server-centric model after that, where all logic and rendering will take place on the server and be streamed to extremely dumb clients...like TVs with basic touch input. This will require a pretty intense infrastructure, but with some nice perks for hardware/software developers. For one, absolute control over an application...bump versions any time you like, easy access to debugging information (crash reports, etc.), watch user usage in real time, on and on. Hardware will also be insanely cheap. Users benefit from the practical equivalent of having a top-of-the-line computer embedded in their smartphones.
