Well, I expect that most programming language research in the next 10 years would focus on exploiting multicore programming. If we're lucky, we'll all be using something like Haskell or Erlang, and all apps will be multithreaded. Languages that choose to ignore multicore will slowly suffocate. Writing multithreaded apps will become much easier than it is now, if not trivial.
It's not wrong to dream, is it? :)
- Locke1689 17y agoNot at all. I may note that our dream of parallelization (us systems people trying to implement it and the language designers trying to write it) is not easier or trivial multithreaded authoring, but implicit parallelization. Wouldn't it be unbelievably cool to just write your program and have it parallelized by the language semantics themselves? :) Come, join the dark side and take control of more power than you can possibly imagine! Muahahaha
