In reply to Michael.

I'd like to hear from anyone who knows what the web is going to be like five years from now and get it right let alone 13 years. As for market share or reach, Jetpack is going to play a large role.

But what I think will play an even larger role is the translations of major plugins into many different languages. Matt said on stage that a lot people who use WordPress in a different language do so without the ability to use plugins, since most are not translated.

"JavaScript Interfaces and PHP APIs are the Future of WordPress" how much more specific do you want Matt to be? If you were a shareholder, most of what you heard about the future of the self-hosted WordPress project that is open source would be of no concern to you as you wouldn't have any financial investment in it.
