Is that enough technopessimism for you?

Of course it doesn't hurt to be an optimist, but in this particular case I don't see WebOS gaining much traction.

Those are articles and opinion, not a confirmation or denial of what the company will or won't do with webOs. Of course, everyone is entitled to give their own perspective about webOs future. Does not mean is what will really happen.

The fact is, will be open source and the company will put lot of work, money and time, so won't be dead. Anything else is speculation.

Will developers or public keep the support? That's another thing. It could be something similar to what people say about MySQL when Oracle bought it. It is still running and being used.
