I hope that we'll see web-development-like desktop platforms. There are certain classes of apps that are really simple to develop as a web site, but comparatively hard as a native app. I would like to see something like node-webkit with a broader range of native controls. On the opposite side, I would like to see desktop toolkits to include more web-server-like functionality to make desktop-web-dev easier.

in general, very much like the idea of Firefox OS, where you basically develop a web-app, and publish it as a native app. I would like to see this on the desktop as well.

Oh yeah, and a truly first class alternative to Javascript in the browser is really overdue.
