Probably someone will reinvent splitting the files, again, and in 5yrs a new webpack to glue them together again.

Meanwhile
My fav is CloudFlare Edge workers, they are a start to a new serverless revolution, but for front-end. I think more use cases will be found, for networking and backend services, and soon all CDN's providers will support this feature.

Modules in browsers - combined with TypeScript maybe the JS code will not look so bad.
PWA - after Apple joins the board, and hopefully market stores will have PWA apps too, it will open a new market.
WebAssembly ...

I hope for a Flutter web, Dart as a JS alternative sounds great.

What so special about "Modules in browsers - combined with TypeScript"? I mean I'm excited about each one standalone, but is there any additional benefit comes from the combo

PWA - after Apple joins

Yes waiting for it. They are polishing it

I hope for a Flutter web, Dart as a JS alternative sounds great.

Anything specific got you excited
