I think people will see that type safety and functional programming don’t impact productivity much in a business setting, and we’ll see a flight from these languages as examples of horrible legacy code reveal themselves to show that the problem is behavioral / sociological, and has nothing to do at all with enforcement on the code or compilation vs testing. I also think more job candidates will reject interviews that waste time with unrealistic homework assignments, marathon on-site interviews, etc. Finally, I think productivity losses and health issues related to open-plan offices will soar, but companies will continue to be disingenuous and act like it improves collaboration or saves money when it’s uncotroversially flat false.
