Hey I understand where you're coming from. I had the same impression before I began on SnapSearch. But right now SPAs are still a minority of the websites in the world, but eventually everybody will start making web applications.
But do note, as I said in the other comments, it's not just search engines. There'll be a day when curlling sites will require a JS VM. There's a big difference between a standard curl vs a full blown chrome/firefox level VM. Considering the amount of sites google crawls per second, their computing costs would explode compared to what they're doing now.
And this doesn't even address all the social network bots, and pretty much all the other bots doing stuff other than search indexing.
So I think we're still got quite some time before we're redundant.
At any case, the question for you is, are you going to wait for Google to implement this before you can start using single page application technologies which can give you an edge when it comes to customer user experience?
- tracker1 12y agoWhy would curl need a full VM? Just curl the API/Service endpoints for the data you want.. if you need more that's what PhantomJS is for.
