Jack is looking towards the inevitable paradigm shift away from a primarily text-based programming to whatever the future may hold. It's to be expected that most people will say they are perfectly productive with how things are thank you very much.
- kibwen 4y agoI'll be happy to use a better paradigm than text when someone comes up with one. In the meantime, all the attempts to replace programs-as-text have failed to result in any actual improvement, save for niches like e.g. StarLogo that cater to beginners.
- qu4z-2 4y agoI'm sure it's inevitable, but I'd like to point out it's been inevitable for at least 50 years.
- AnimalMuppet 4y agoYeah, well, "whatever the future may hold" isn't enough to get people to switch. I'm at least somewhat productive with how things are. You want me to switch? Show me how to be more productive with something that is concretely available today. You have something that may be revolutionary sometime in the future? Then I'll care sometime in the future, if it turns out to be actually revolutionary. I can't be productive on vaporware and dreams.
