    Computer code. It will become the Ancient Greek of the late 21st century.

      Sorry but... bullshxxx

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Learning to code taught me problem solving and problems will always need to be fixed; AI or not.

          Learning to code in APL will eventually will be as readable as Ancient Greek.

            What do you mean, "eventually"? It's already the premier write-only language.

            Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

              I know someone who proved that he is able to read APL. A bit of a useless skill, but a skill nonetheless.

              What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

                Why is it BS? Once upon a time, steam was the thing. If you knew how to make a steam-engine, the sky was the limit. If you know how to make a steam engine these days, you're just a clever guy with an interesting hobby. Tech is ephemeral - things don't stand still. My grandfather fixed wirelesses, that skill would be no use to me. I write code, that skill will be no use to my grandchildren.

                98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

                  I can give you that the languages might get obsolete, but the ability "code" is not only about the language you are using. And that is what I say it won't get obsolete

                    It's simply a matter of time before all communication with machines is performed in native languages such as English. Once we can speak to computers in that way, there will be no point whatsoever in communicating via a coded medium. People may still program computers but they will not do so by code.
