Biggest limitations of HTML5:

- security causes a lot of limits for users and developers

- unhealthy competition between browser vendors, example: WebGL@InternetExplorer

- its limited to 3 languages: HTML, CSS, JS (and its derivatives)

that's very cool! not sure if it's production ready,

should my business depend on some weekend projects posted on github?

Using javascript as a main language for large projects is bad idea, let alone node.js. In browser environment at least you can use debugger, while on server side using any of available js interpreters/compilers is a black box just like rails/php/django etc.

Javascript is a scripting language and on server side it should be used like this.. scripting language, small and independent pieces of code, not a 100kloc+ "OOP" clusterfuck :)

I see no reason, why as an experienced Java developer you couldn't become javascript/ruby/python/scala/whatever expert. There is not that much to learn in Java.

I'm just reading HN and in discussions between one of news about ES.next, the conclusion was that it will happen... complete rewrite of everything and it's not like it will happen immediately, we need some time to discover best practices with new language features

all of them will become obsolete once ecmascript.next kicks in

I have Iphone, I bought it, because I couldn't afford a new car, yet I could buy something "new".

mobile without advertisment, a wet dream that will never end - do you really believe in that?

Language without proper IDE(Eclipse) support isn't worth much for me.

ps. i'm not cool enough to use notepad, vim etc.

do you really need schema for this?

look at web server logs, they have no schema, each line is not related with others, yet we are able to analyze logs

I'm not sure about your point on schemas. When using relational database you must have your schema in two places: 1. database and 2. ORM - the second one is enough to avoid most of problems.

What's the point of having schema in database then?

you can put anything inside class attribute

<div id="data" class="{json: 'x'}"/>

you can mix actual classes with JSON, just put JSON at the end:

<div class="header inline {json: 'x'}"/>

CSS selectors will work just fine

yes, app stores and console game development in particualar are very good examples

whatever I do, I do it with passion

over 2 seconds is quite bad result,

when you make new website today using modern tools, page load should be below 1 second,

OpenGL/DirectX APIs are the reason

You can't run Solr/Lucene properly on Google App Engine(just an example), other software may run better in such circumstances, but its quality is questionable

Solr works great for english language, but once you want to have other languages support, you will want to use Lucene directly.

anyway, what if my hosting provider won't let me run Solr or any other java software?

what if you want to have high quality search service? install even better search plugin in RoR?

When you can't have Apache Lucene, because you are using PHP/RoR/Django/node.js/whatever, you can always have "basic text indexing and search".

that's a bad news for users of all those PHP/RoR/Django/node etc. apps, who will never get proper on site search functionality. majority of lazy devs won't go for Solr-like solution

I doubt this vehicle will be used for landing on Earth(why not use parachutes?). I would rather send it to Mars orbit and reuse it there as a landing module, but not take it back to Earth.

I wonder how many of popular IDEs(Eclipse etc.) are ready for those new features, also performance wise

The idea of HTML5 is to avoid using JS in your app.

very cool debugging nightmare,

if you like coding in text editor(vim, notepad etc.) and debugging with println`s, meteor is for you :)

new smarthphone works works as a substitute of buying new car or moving to new house, so it's not like iOS users have more money

Moving stuff into CSS seems to be a good direction. i.e. you don't have to code shadows/animations/etc. in JS anymore.

as long as they don't enforce this to search results it does not exist, but when they do that, carwoo etc. will cease to exist.

Most of C++ production code I know, looks very similar to Java. memory managers, garbage collectors etc. are being used, most of language features are not used, so the code is simple, like Java,

Powerful language full of features yet programmers are scared to use most of them.
