Java Applets

Applets are going to make a come back, I can feel it in my bones. Have you been polishing your Java skills, /prog/? Because now that flash is dying, HTML5 is never going to be finished, and JS has fallen out of favor, people are going to turn once again to Java to save them, and to decorate their websites with interactive media.

In 5 years JavaScript will replace most of niche proprietary plugins. Web developers have been abandoning the plugins by the droves and the legacy stuff is what keep the plugins alive.
