What I imagine devs will be talking about in 20 years....

If it goes on like in the last 30 years then it will be: 1. Secure your investment through our tool, blah blah blah 2. Using our tool, you can create reusable components (re-usable for how long?), blah, blah blah But I think it's time to change this and no longer discuss about C # || VB || Java || Python || .... It is time that a task can be defined in a meta language... and then tools (implemented perhaps in C # || VB || Java || Python ...) should convert this meta definition into applications . It means that the description of the task (in “the” meta language) remains ~"constant". The tools take over the translation of the “meta task” into the current techniques. Only my creazy mind. Bruno

It's where I thought we'd be by now - 40 years ago! :-D

...the same crap. Anything they like is good; everything else is stupid. Today it's Apple vs PC and Java vs VB vs C#. In the future, it'll be qubits vs ESP.

20 years ago for embedded devs it was the shift from 8 bit controllers to 16 bit, DSPs and the exotic new 32 bit controllers. 20 years from now it'll be the shift from 32-bit ARM to 64-bit and virtual machines along with IPv6 for your IOT toaster....

I don't believe developers will be talking about anything in the future. Instead, they will just be texting emojis to each other...

Nice try Griff! Trying to trick me with that old 201X technology. I remember from my Ancient Computing History class that a nibble is 4 bits, so an octanibble is just a 32-bit value!

I think you give us too much credit: 1) Testing (greatest thing ever or sucks) 2) Code Formatting 3) Other Programmers 4) This horrible code you inherited 5) How to find a better work environment 6) How much trouble you keep getting into for posting things on CP and other people are reading!

Qubits are soooo 2036! All the cool froods are using octanibbles.

I find octanibbles hard to swallow.

I TRY to CATCH up to your brilliance that is without EXCEPTION but, alas, I'm FINALLY unable to keep up with the floating point of it all! :)

That letter will be å. Only Scandinavians will be able to write code on their default keyboard. Programmers will know how to get it from the character map. All others will have no idea how to write anything :D
