Ask HN: What are your predictions for the programming industry going forward
I thought this was an interesting discussion on Reddit and thought I'd ask it here.
What are your 90% / 50% / 10% confident predictions for the programming industry in 2021 and upward?
- isubasinghe 5y ago90% confident programming languages will change to be more type safe, I'm going to say this is going to be where FP is now by about 2030. 50% chance of a new OOP language that incorporates a stronger type system to solve the problems of Java. Rust has been why I've come to develop this opinion, going back to C code after Rust was difficult. Going back to python after some Haskell was also difficult. Type systems are an underrated productivity tool/feature.
