HATS, Java and front-end iseries development

Well seeing the absolutely massive amounts of money that IBM has spent on
Websphere and the speed that releases of HATs integration into a common JAVA
front-end development are occuring. I don't think you need ponder too long on
where IBM sees its newer language technology for front-end development.

I can only see JAVA based front-end (and some back-end) being the norm in
iseries developments in the future. Any other technologies will just cut
second fiddle in the future, in my opinion.
