So you agree with me that it only shifts the load from the server to the client and you say that this is good in order to use today's grid computer servers. I agree, but I'm not working for govt nor huge multinationals that may have the need for this massive data workload. So I think we may agree that this technology will be worth learning to the small subset of coders that work with massive data.
