Will HTML be replaced by any new technology?

I see various frameworks being launched that promise Rich Ui and better User experience as they call it. Silverlight, Flash, Yahoo's new framework etc etc.\

Does this mean that over a period of time these frameworks will replace the existing HTML, JAVASCRIPT , CSS based web applications?

Wouldn't it be same as opening an application inside a browser window?
 


You don't even understand what you're asking, do you?

No, HTML isn't going away. Those frameworks you talk about, output HTML.
 
Its probably like these graph databases, sounds like a cool idea but years away when the current relational databases work fine.

As for html going forget about it, HTML5 is using some other technologies that is bring it out of the wilderness.

The people who use graph databases and then go back to using RDBs are usually not using graph databases for the right purposes in the first place. There are very specific use cases that call for graph databases, they aren't for powering normal web apps.
 
Miscrosoft has stopped releasing updates for silverlight in favor of focusing on html5.

Not entirely surprising. I don't know much about it, but I always thought of Silverlight like Flash, only a decade too late. And made by company that doesn't play well with bugs. Win, win.
 
These are not necessarely frameworks but more standards and most of them exist longer then html 5.
I've been giving trainings in several of these the past years and I can tell you the the truth is the other way around.
HTML5 is here to replace flash and silveright and the reason for this is because html is an open standard and the others are not. they are products of companies that own them and want a monopoly.
Over the years you will see less and less flash an silveright. Microsoft even has stopped investing in silveright, because it's a dying technology since the coming of html 5.

@Klopa_Matt: they don't output html, they are smart clients like your browser. that's why you need to install flash and install silveright in order to run it. Silverlight was actually a really good idea in 2005-2006 and they had something like html 5 called xaml, this is just like html a declarative language that is sent in an uncompiled version to the client that just interprets it, just like your browser.

hope this helps,

Ironically Microsoft actually invented their own version of WebGL back in the 1990's.

It worked quite well but due to internal faction fights within the company it was killed as web based 3d rendering engine and eventually turned in to DirectX.

There is a book about the whole ordeal, quite interesting, [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Renegades-Empire-Software-Revolution-Microsoft/dp/0609604163]Renegades of the Empire: How Three Software Warriors Started a Revolution Behind the Walls of Fortress Microsoft: Michael Drummond: 9780609604168: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]



Edit: side note on html5, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Have a look at the html5 video support for major browsers, it's not good, they all support different formats and still rely on third party players to play the video.

As much as I dislike flash and actionscript (eh, actionscript) it's not going anywhere soon.
