Web 2.0
by S.M. Schrama on February 14, 2008

A big slice of the Web 2.0 revolution happened thanks to the development of javascript, a language almost forgotten. Some new additions to javascript made it from a dusty and much hated-for-not-working language to a way out, a path to the future of the web.
Dynamic scripting, reloading of external data inside
containers and more: javascript was out to save the world. Not many people probably even looked at flash as a web language before, but that has dramatically changed over the last few years. And today, it looks like Flash might be gaining ground fast - is this the new javascript?
Will locally installed apps become extinct soon?
Flash-based applications are inherently cross-platform, because there are Flash runtimes that work in Internet Explorer and Firefox; on Macs, Windows, and Linux. Flash-based apps are finally beginning to compete head-on with standard software. Many new Flash apps aren't just different. They're better. ()

It's true that recently Flash applications became more popular than ever, but I think it's too early to talk about extinction of locally installed apps.
