Where programming languages are headed in 2020
-
Not a criticism to you and your posting this, Kent -- I am far less concerned with where languages are headed than I am concerned with where programmers are headed. Having worked in this field for 30+ years, I can confidently say, "not in the right direction." Finding programmers who actually care about the quality of their work (and *know* what quality even means so as to care about it) is a downward spiral. :sigh:

Abusing Extension Methods, Null Continuation, and Null Coalescence OperatorsAgreed. I'm a little worried about the possible answers to the next question though: Why do you think this direction is happening? Is it the over-reliance on frameworks? (especially by JS devs) Or IDEs? Move towards busy-work (SOLID, "repository all the stuff", "clean code" etc.) Just those dang kids on the lawn? Something else?

And lack of pride about doing things the best one can in many youngsters (it takes energy and time to do it)
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.

I see this happening frequently in articles from O'Reilly (I read their programming newsletter) Is C# really so irrelevant in the industry? Or there is no significant innovotation to report? I don't think so...
No, you're right - I think it's O'Reilly. They seem to have a blind-spot for some reason. Maybe Bill/Satya said something nasty about their animal covers, or it's a holdover from their old Unix/Linux days.
