I second robots; but more like "waldoes", generic amplification of my human capacities, on a bigger-than-me (backhoe), stronger-than-me (force amplifier to assist my neuromuscular degeneration), or tinyier-than-me (microfabrication) bases. Make them available and plentiful. A language translation system like Reasoning, Inc's "Refine", but intended to swallow code from ANY language, including it's libraries, factor and globally optimize, and emit code in any other language. With some tool that points out "routine A" is a not quite complete (errors or omissions) implementation of "routine B". Eventually, using the accumulated library of code, produce a goal (constraint) based language that asks interactive questions, to produce new programs.
