I would say it will be possible to do many of the things that are currently done by these kinds of backends, but there will be differences, some just trade-offs, some things not practical and others never before possible. SAFEpress is one project that aims to provide a way to do at least conventional dynamic websites, but I imagine there will be other projects aimed at different scenarios. Its seems that Structured Data will allow us some backend type functionality (enumerating documents?) to be provided by the network, other backend functions will be implemented differently, running on the client but using the RESTful API (mutable and versioned data APIs) for lower level functions.
