I'm hoping programming grows up enough to remember languages like Ada. Dynamic languages are useful for "get something running quick, then work on getting it right". Ada makes you get it right up front, or it doesn't even compile. The former is good if you have to bang out a script this afternoon; the later is good if you have to maintain a code base for 10+ years, with multiple programmers, and some assurances about reliability.
