Apache or PHP certainly can't last forever. While I don't know what will take their place, or when, or who will benefit, I do think we will see some trends going forward: More and more server code for web applications will be written in Javascript, as WebGL enables web-based gaming platforms, as offline applications share code between client and server, as Javascript becomes more popular as a language, and developers…

Interesting ideas. You just reminded me of a post Bruce Eckel wrote on what programming might be like in the mid future; he touches on some similar ideas. I recommend you give that a read to see what you think as I found it quite thought-provoking.

Thanks for the link. This was interesting: "Eventually the idea that we have to 'store something to disk' will go away; the difference between memory and disk will be seen as an arbitrary artifact of the past".

Premature and a little arbitrary. While Node.js certainly is useful, and Unix is a staple, why MongoDB in particular? Why not Cassandra, HBase, or another NoSQL effort? Why is it the "new LAMP", anyway -- why can't it just be a new(er) set of tools that people use?
