Good point, valid opinion, etc. But incorrect, I think. I think it's more likely that we are going to see most metropolitan areas in the US finally get world-class data/communications infrastructure installed. It's starting to build momentum now, really. And then there will be no going back. You will then be unable to convince the vast majority of enterprise users that they should pay for proprietary Java + server installations when they can get radically better functionality and useability from client-side technology, and at a VERY steep discount. I really think the only thing currently preventing a tidal wave of JavaScript dominance in enterprise is the (weird) reality that the US is still so retrograde on high-speed internet.
- notastartup 12y agoI don't think it has anything to do with the speed of the internet, rather you won't see large companies who paid millions for infrastructure built on Oracle or SAP come off it anytime soon. The people that spend this much on money won't be sold on the wonders of Javascript, that's not how they make their purchase decisions.
