I oversee many external agencies who do web development work for my company. We have craploads of Flash scattered throughout our sites, and over the last few years we've been rebuilding and updating these features using HTML5, etc. where appropriate.

My question is, are there more modern/better alternatives than HTML5 that we should be considering when scoping out these modules? Obviously the tech used will be dependent upon the requirements, but what other similar tech is out there?

Silverlight used to be the preference, but now it seems that it's past it's prime.

it depends on the use case

can you elaborate more



also it's a major false positive, because 99.9 time out of 100, when people say "HTML 5" they're talking about javascript.

No fucking kidding, but to be fair, HTML5 has entered a generic use situation where it covers a lot of different front end development and web design areas, at least in certain usage.
