C has been going strong for 40 years now, and Lisp for 50, so code may look worryingly similar. I predict that C& or C% will have an enormous industrial following, and the breakthrough of functional programming into industry will still be just around the corner. More seriously my hope is that functions will begin to be filled in from a specification. In principle it would be great to write the test, and have the code filled in from there. It is not a problem I see being solved in the immediate future though.
