Whats your most optimistic projection for what programming will look like in 2030?

A couple of years ago a customer asked us to develop a program they expected to have a very long life. We talked about Java or C#, but they ended up choosing C, since they believed it would outlast the others (easily :-))

The same, but some other language that doesn't exist yet but looks the same is popular.

Maybe by then, mainstream programming languages will have finally converged on ML
(first it was anon functions, then type inference, then algebraic data types... just a bit more and we’re there...) -
This seems quite likely IMO.

Ideally,
@unisonweb has won. Realistically, C# 20 and Java 30 still rule enterprise.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Dafny (or something similar) goes mainstream. Most languages are the same as they are now but languages supporting verification with liquid types becomes an option. Both higher-kinded and higher-order polymorphism are available in more than just Haskell and Scala.

Dafny is cool. Tighter integration with SMT toolchains is going to interesting research.

programming will be done by computers not people! maybe in 2130.

I certainly think they'll be some intermediate form of this that will be quite interesting. Already see the seeds of that now.
