Silverlight Vs. Javascript - Chrome Vs. IE - Who will prevail?

The battle's on, the heat is burning up, and all eyes look to the onslaught before us. This could be one of the biggest browser battles of all time! Maybe bigger than the IE vs Netscape from years ago.
This time, it's also a battle between 2 different technologies: year-old Silverlight, and old Javascript.

With the coming of Google Chrome, Javascript has become a lot faster. Many people would say Javascript could become a serious competitor to Silverlight, and that's probably true. But in time, I'm sure Silverlight will win out. Although Javascript is becoming faster, that's because of browser speed. Silverlight isn't necessarily dependent on that. As Javascript and Silverlight are in two different languages, there may be a lot of compatibility issues with websites in the future. Most would think Javascript is more convenient as anyone can use it already. However, Silverlight already has a significant install base, as anyone who watched the oympics online using msnbc would have had to install Silverlight.
Javascript still lacks in many key aspects of the web world, and even though these aspects may soon emerge on Javascript, I think Silverlight will beat Javascript, simply because it's not restricted in the way that Javascript it.

As for the matter for Chrome vs IE, there's no doubt who will win. As I've already explained in previous posts, IE is just much better than Chrome, even if Chrome is much faster. Firefox is generally a much better browser than IE, and yet IE is still the clear victor. If you want to know why IE will probably win this browser battle too, then just check the earlier posts I made after Chrome was released, especially the one entitled "Why Google Chrome market share won't go up too high".

I would say more updates are coming, but I think there have been enough updates, and updates will only come if something very important comes up. As well, on Tuesday, we'll have coverage of the Apple event, so look forward to that.
