Two words: Javascript frameworks.
Now that's accelerationism.
More like branchtionism.
1. New technological platform emergence, 5 years.
2. Rebuild basic tooling over 5 years.
3. Experiment with new possibilities for another 5 years.
4. Find out what the real improvements over previous platform were during next 5 years and settle for them.
5. Goto 1. With lessons learned from previous platform, but forgetting some earlier lessons.
Nothing in the javascript world is forward-thinking, fast or forward-moving.
(Except ASM.js ... maybe...)
