Holy grail, eh? Well, if you really want to swing for the fences...
* Programming a computer in plain English.
* Teaching a machine to compose (real) music, or draw (real) art.
* Simulating a brain -- or, even better, emulating one.
* A programming language that makes it possible to write code that's worthy of being read as literature.
