One interesting prophecy I read recently is that the emergence and widespread availability of NVRAM (non-volatile RAM) could shift the bottleneck in most web applications from the disk to the CPU. One implication of this is that the relative inefficiency of current high-level web programming languages could see a shift toward more efficient languages (e.g. Rust?).
