We keep looking for the common runtime that can run everywhere. We yearn (remember Java) for the platform that allows us the promise of “write once, run everywhere”. This, in the global sense, is a pipe dream. My comments here are targeted for custom software that businesses rely on. These are commonly referred to as business applications, or line of business applications. The days of writing a business application for the web and expecting it to serve all users is over. Only in a world where 99% of your users are using pretty much the same type of computer is this possible. In the New World Order, the application runs on the web server and is merely a set of APIs.

I'd like to point out that there are still a large number of LOB-apps that are written in VB6. I doubt that COBOL is dead.
..but yes, it was time for another article claiming that everything we're doing today will no longer be relevant tomorrow.

Well who woulda thunk it?
Never personally met or heard of anyone using it. I thought it was primarily used by US military.

It never will, it is what native code compiles to.
