Well, the same fate as Adobe Flex. Any technology or framework which has not made the switch to HTML5 early enough is dead by now.

Ironically, OpenLaszlo did make the switch to HTML5 (formerly called DHTML) long before HTML5 was even on Adobe's radar, but unfortunately, when OpenLaszlo was passed to the new owners they did not do anything with it. They were sitting on a gold mine, a nearly completed cutting-edge HTML5 development framework, but they did not understand that. Sticking with the movie theme, it reminds me of the last scene from Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark where the Ark is put in a crate in some huge warehouse somewhere by some "Top Men" to be lost forever again and Indiana Jones saying "Fools. Bureaucratic fools!... ...They don't know what they've got there."
