Used to do DevOps before they even called it that way: Linux. Python. Perl. Java. Docker. For fun and profit. CTO level generalist working for a mid-sized tech-centric company.

I'm not yet sure whether I want to see that happen on top of the flaky and partially broken tech pile that JavaScript is in many ways, but: I certainly hope something like PWA sooner or later will remove the need to build specific apps for specific platforms which seems a total anachronism in virtually every way possible (given on the desktop people go just the other way 'round and move everything into the browser). Right now, looking at our own development process, there's way too much time lost or wasted while fiddling with different build and deployment procedures, certain platforms for which apps can only be built and deployed on certain hardware and so forth.
Still I see quite some hurdles for these things, maybe related to our specific use cases. Performance possibly being one of them. Limited amount of local storage for (temporary) offline use cases being another one.
