I thought Google and Android were big on JAVA?
I am starting to think that this whole idea of 'running applications
in the cloud' will never work as well as running an application
on the desktop.
It is 10+ years since many apps moved to web apps.
And whether the web app is hosted in house or in the cloud
does not have functional impact.
So it will work for many apps.
But there are probably also some apps that it will not work for.
If I see the same thing with a choice of an applet or a jar file
that I can download first and run on the PC, I now go for the jar
file choice.
The speed of the internet these days makes downloading things
not an issue any more.
People now think HTML5/Javascript is the next big thing, where
everyone will write their wonderful advanced 20 million lines
applications in HTML5 and Javascript.
May be for simple games and basic app this will work, but
for advanced applications where good and robust performance
is important, running things directly on the desktop/computer
will always be better than running things inside yet another
software application like the browser.
HTML5/CSS/JS will still be mostly presentation layer.
For that purpose performance will be good enough for many
apps.
