Can we say that next generation of web development is moving towards JavaScript?

As Ajax (*latest* and pretty fast technique) extensively uses JS and in future also, programmer will always want and try client to do as much processing as possible to make their server work effectively.

Any thought?

JavaScript always been hot, people have just been blind!

Personally I would not want to use the client to reduce the server for processing since the client can not handle large data formats.

Disagree completely. While the advent of the popularity of Ajax allows more interaction to take place on the client, it's a poor programmer who tries to move the business logic there.

Ajax and Javascript have their well-deserved place in the toolbox of the web developer, but it's just another tool that needs to be weilded appropriately along with all the server-side tools that will not be supplanted.

It's sort of like saying "Look! I have this cool new hammer! Now I can throw my saw away!"
