Dion Hinchcliffe have an excellent post about the future of RIA : A roundup of the Web's new face. Will the lacks of multimedia capabilities in Javascript will be the entry in force of plug-in technologies based on the new Flash development platforms or other plug-in models ? Dion has a round-up of the latest generation which goes from Flex, OpenLaszlo plateform, WinFX, to Mozilla XUL.
Consequently, making a final RIA choice for the Web or enterprise today is pretty difficult and it's clear that the right combination of features is still being sought. Whether one these platforms will provide it, or an entirely new as yet unknown will, is up in the air. And that's likely going to create the battlefield conditions from some real innovation and creativity. As a result, the world's RIA story will likely to be quite interesting for at least the next several years.
What RIA platform are you looking at and why?
