I thought this was an interesting discussion on Reddit and thought I'd ask it here.<p>What are your 90% / 50% / 10% confident predictions for the programming industry in 2021 and upward?
90% confident programming languages will change to be more type safe, I'm going to say this is going to be where FP is now by about 2030.<p>50% chance of a new OOP language that incorporates a stronger type system to solve the problems of Java.<p>Rust has been why I've come to develop this opinion, going back to C code after Rust was difficult.
Going back to python after some Haskell was also difficult.
Type systems are an underrated productivity tool/feature.
By 2030:<p>90% more advanced type systems<p>50% IDEs, github, and slack will merge into one monolithic social developer experience<p>10% end user programming using NLP
