Will native apps eventually kill both html5 and flash?

Flash cons: Slow, plugin, owned by Adobe, stuff cant be selected. Pros: Freedom, interactive, less work, can do more than html 5 in many areas, As3.

Html 5 cons: Slow development 2022, Lot of work, rely on Js for advance stuff, doesnt work on each browser, 3 languages needed to create something workable, less secure, no ide. Pros: Light, Open source, easier to edit and fix, vast community, multi device capable from bottom up.

Native NACL apps: Well, its native so.....it sees all, surpass all, dominates all. Speed, it will kill JS and as3. Freedom, cant go lower than c and c++. Interactivity, well same again. Editing, only would have to edit in one language for server side and yes, client side. If it continues to develop soon all websites could be like little apps. Thats what the trend is to web as web apps.



And i am referring to chrome newly added feature to run native apps within browser.Will native apps eventually kill both html5 and flash?
Flash is buggy and constantly has new security holes pop up, which is why Apple doesn't allow it. (Their lack of support for Flash is the reason they won me over.) Unless Flash manages to somehow fix the major flaws, it's going away. Even if it does fix them, it still might to be replaced by HTML 5. Where a couple years ago, people were asking for Flash sites, clients are now specifically asking for non-flash.

HTML 5 is not going away. You're mistaken in your claim of "slow development". 2022 is the date the spec was supposed to be finalized. It's been officially announced it will be finalized by 2014. The date the spec is finalized is not the date when it will start to be used. It was already implemented in some browsers and used prior to developers being given the go-ahead to begin using it. In Feb 2011, the official green light was given to use it.

Native apps will not kill HTML 5. It's much cheaper for companies to make a website that's mobile compliant than it is for them to make a website and a mobile app. I do iPhone app development and web development. A lot of people ask about having an app developed, but it the end most just don't want to pay the cost for an app and a website. They'd rather have a website that can be viewed on both desktop and mobile. And that's just apps for a single platform. If they won't pay for one app, they really won't pay for app development for multiple platforms.Will native apps eventually kill both html5 and flash?
Security is a concern in what you describe, and compatibility between systems. Flash (unfortunately) and HTML+CSS+JavaScript reach wide audiences on many platforms and device types. Flash (somewhat) and HTML+CSS+JavaScript have security features designed-in to provide client-side safety. That goes out the window with unmanaged code.



I hope Flash dies. HTML (5) is here to stay.Will native apps eventually kill both html5 and flash?
flash shudnt exist.apple cant use it.Therefore it not important.
Native application cons: Are not portable, stuck to a single machine, subject to a restrictive license agreement, prone to data loss due to hard drive failure, lack of backups, manual upgrade, etc...

While I agree that there's more work to be done on cloud computing, it's something that's just now beginning to take over let alone be killed by native applications.

JavaScript execution speeds have gotten better over the years and the things you can do with it today pales in comparison to what it might accomplish ten years from now.
