So within 5 years I think:
1. XMPP will be the protocol for real-time web apps
2. Browsers will have javascript implementations that go through a JIT. Microsoft actually has this working. They have javascript working on their DLR (which is the newer virtual machine for dynamic languages).
3. People may implement their own virtual machines in the javascript just so they can easily port existing code to the web. (This point is a big maybe but could be cool)
4. Erlang will be cool partly because of the XMPP server that is written in erlang.
5. And facebook will have gone public.
So now you know and are my witness.

I was predicting the rise of XMPP being used for communication between client and server. Using libraries such as JSJaC to take care of the XMPP communication. With "comet" I think it depends on who you ask what comet is. But I think of comet as the iframe hack for bidirectional communication. My predictions are a bit vague but for this one more specifically I would predict JSJaC or something similar rising in popularity to take care of the bidirectional communication problem.
