I hope programming advances a lot, but I'm not convinced that the medium is the interesting part. It's the semantic model that matters, and I think text has won so far because it's the best way we've come up with to express the models we have. So maybe we'll be programming in a medium other than text, but I sure hope that's not the main advance that's made.
