[UPHPU] Are we facing another standards storm?

[Victor Villa]

I'm sure that many here are old enough to remember the legendary battle of
IE 4 v Netscape 4.   I'm sure many of us still have JS snippets of browser
detection so that the IE code is given to the IE browser and the Netscape
code is given to the netscape browser.

 

What a nightmare, I'm sure glad THOSE days are over; or are they?

 

It seems that Havoc has been cried and the dogs of war slipped over the
battleground of RIA.  Here is what I mean.   

 

Adobe Flash &  Apollo v MS Silverlight & WPF v FireFox Cairo v Sun JavaFX v
AJAX JS Frameworks v APEE (Anomalous Pretty Eye-candy Engine).

 

So my question is this, What the heck is going on and can I get fries to go
with that?

 

Seriously, I'd be interested to see what tech people have played with.

 

Additionally, since I'm a lazy jerk and don't feel like learning 4+
languages, I'd be interested to find out what tech is the one likely to be
on top, and thus, me spend my time to learn.
