> There's always chat about programming being stuck in the '80s but I think that with the recent developments and improvements in compilers, programming languages and toolchain the process of programming is anything but stuck in the '80s. I tend to agree with this. The whole thing does feel a bit like the "flying car syndrome", in that we had at one point envisioned that by this point in history we would be dictating concepts by thought to machines that would automagically transcribe them into machine code. It's a matter of expectations and projections outpacing reality.
