What are the implications to custom programs when moving to Hana? Is the move more of an "upgrade", or are there specific steps that need to be taken to make sure custom development works in that environment? Thanks!

1. Is there a technology road map for all SAP applications, not just the information on technologies as it gives a more insight where SAP is heading or addressing the constantly eveloging business world ? 2. Answers to my previous question would also gives a idea for the developers to what their focus as to be like on HANA, Cloud computing, Mobility. 3. Is HANA going to be also coming to ECC, SRM etc., if not fully, howt can it be utilized in parts and what would be it's impact on ABAP ? 4. Regarding Mobility, SAP has new Gateway services, how is it changing the programming model of SAP applicaitons ? 5. WE know SAP is investing hugely on UI technologies, how is HTML5 impact the programming paradigm ?

The programming languages of HANA are mentioned to be SQL Script, Language R and BFL. We have ABAP so far...Down the lane into the Future ...say after 2 to 3 years which one would most likely be used among these like the way we use ABAP for basic SAP coding?
