Programming languages---using any definition--
are the primary means by which a person communicates
with a computer. Viewed from that perspective,
all future developments should be aimed at making
this communication easier and more cost effective.
Each person doing research and development feels he
has the answer. The real truth seems to be that there
is no single best way for people to communicate with a
computer, and hence no single solution. Thus there will
be no single language useful to everyone.
Sad that this likely will not see the front page, a lot of interesting things in this pdf, thank you.
