Web development technologies such as JavaScript and HTML5 may super cede more traditional programming languages in the near future. The reason for the shift is that HTML5 and JavaScript are becoming their own programming platform and fit today’s mobile platforms better.
By automating garbage collections, Java paves the way for greater use of frameworks or sets of libraries with routine tasks. Java is also better suited for running across multiple platforms than C++ because programming for multicore processors can be a tedious task in C++. In contrast, Java’s virtual machine handles the issue of which processors to use.
The programming needs today are moving from a server-side architecture to a thin server architecture due to a combination of cloud computing, HTML5 and mobile devices. Mobile computing requires a back-end service to handle heavy processing and user’s devices are not always connected.
Consequently, some capabilities that use to reside on the server must be available on the local device so they can be used when the device is not connected to the web. HTML5 and JavaScript offer the capability to offload storage and processing to the mobile device.
Apps are shifting to a thinner server model where the display logic is in the browser itself and its communications with the server is with services and data. For these reasons, web application development is taking hold in the enterprise market.
