The silver bullet programming language + environment. Fast and zero-cost-abstraction as c++, safe as Rust, productive as Python, async as Go, runs everywhere like JS, live upgrades like Erlang, development environment as C#, designed for remote debugging, near instant recompilation and testing, universal dependency manager with sandboxing of shared libraries and scm integration. There is still room for Domain Specific languages like sql, html and such but for imperative programming there are way too many options all filling almost the same need with just slight variation. Even with the rise of all types of VMs and cross compilers we are still porting mountains of code to another language just because the execution environment was slightly different. The gap between embedded and web is also too big, for embedded you are stuck with prehistoric c++ with dangerous syntax, hour-long build times and days of figuring out how to correctly compile and link that shared library. vs web where your only options are dynamic languages where both safety, predictability and performance are a joke. I also realize safety and performance vs productivity often contradicts each other but not as much as often argued, there has to be a better middle ground than what we are stuck with today. In isolation, this should be an achievable task, especially if dropping any legacy compatibility. What might be difficult is is people want legacy compatibility and proven in use, so adaptation-rate will turn this into "there are now 15 competing standards" and a "peace on earth"-type problem.
