Anyone willing to write 10 predictions for 2020?

franze 14y ago
1) in 2020 most programmers will still be average 2) in 2020 browsers will support a multitude of programming languages natively, most of them functional 3) in 2020 linkedin will be dead 4) in 2020 there will be a huge governmental campaign to teach kids programming, starting in pre-school 5) in 2020 there will be an SVG that is to SVG what HTML5 was to XHTML 6) in 2020 TV will still be mostly watched in 2D 7) in 2020 Steve Ballmer won't be CEO of SonyMicro any longer 8) in 2020 we will finally have an CSS alternative

  2) is very optimistic (I wouldn't bet a dollar on it) 8) I'm not sure what you mean with that one, what kind of alternative? (given you seem to exclude transpilers/preprocessors)

    > I'm not sure what you mean with that one, what kind of alternative? I'm guessing one which better handles layouting and modularization. I'm not hopeful though, CSS is way too "good enough", it's probably there to stay and actual layouting features will slowly get (awkwardly) fitted into it[0], meanwhile modularization will likely be left to components.

    nr 8) is a manifestation of my wish that there must be something better "out there", i don't know what it will be. some of the best frontenders i know rant about CSS regularly (and with a passion), and some already started dreaming of something better. lets hope they fix it until 2020. (7 years from undefined dream to market, should be possible)
