The State of Various Technologies--Adopt/Abandon/Consider

Here's link you may want to read.  It's a quick 8 page read on the state of various technologies and whether they may be worth adopting/abandoning.  A lot of these types of things aren't worth much, but this one is by Thoughtworks, which is Martin Fowler's place.  If you aren't familiar with him, suffice it to say he's well respected on the forefront of software engineering, which is why I consider this worth the time and thought.  I'll also point you to this, which covers one of the tidbits in the doc that might otherwise easily be missed.  Last, I'll point you to this, which while old (seems to date from Google's announcement on Chrome/Chromium), is an interesting take on Chrome/Chromium, its true competitors, and its possible impact on them.
