Indeed, major problems of programming languages can hardly be solved in the area of programming languages itself as it is being done now.
I would say that one needs a new programming or computing model so it is not about languages. At least it is my conclusion after 10+ years of research and attempts to develop such a new programming paradigm. And although I have quite significant progress (concept-oriented programming), the more I do and the deeper I go, the more fundamental problems I meet. And these problems are not about programming languages at all. It is more about "how a system works", "what is a system", "what is computing" etc.
- pdimitar 9y agoDoing such a huge research has to have phases of some sort. At certain point you should stop, re-evaluate, and say "okay, where I am at now is good enough to solve problems X and Y, most of the time". Otherwise it's endless and one loses motivation.
