A very interesting source of thoughts is the work done by Bret Victor http://worrydream.com/ http://worrydream.com/ (take a look at Recent Output section).
Code the way we know it today will change. After all, human languages keep changing.
However, changes will happen in a very natural way, with selection of the best compromise between efforts and results. For instance, programming languages might not change that much while we might end up with more and more powerful frameworks to build software.
Nevertheless, next 50 years of evolution will be very very interesting to follow.
- estraschnov 12y agoYeah Bret has some very interesting points. I don't think he's shipping stuff anymore, that's kinda sad... I agree with your point about frameworks, Bubble is a framework in some ways. However, my point was that at some point, creating software will not be done via typing code, but more through a more pleasant input/user experience (independently of the framework, which will of course evolve).
- davideschiera 12y agoOk, that's a good and hopefully true point. Code and tools will both evolve, eventually you might not deal directly with code but with the abstraction offered by such tools. Code itself won't likely disappear. It will be just buried behind more and more layers of abstractions.
