Discussion on: What are your predictions for how the web will look like 10 years from now?

I lived in a time before the internet. I've seen the two transitions from a content-only web to an interactive web and then further to a web of applications.

My prediction is that the borders between web and system will diminish even further with the steady progress of web assembly, which is already happening. The only rather small missing piece is now a way to directly access some system features (behind a permission system, obviously) from web assembly.

To get back to the original question, HTML, CSS and JS (or TS) will still be popular and frameworks will still exist. They might get augmented by web assembly and languages like C# (blazor), Rust or Go. There just will be more ways they allow developers to deploy their software.
