In the last 30 years, we’ve seen programming evolve fast:
Java → “write once, run anywhere”
VB → democratized GUIs
JavaScript → went from toy to everywhere
Python → from scripting to AI dominance
TypeScript → industrialized JS
Go → cloud infra default
Rust → memory-safe systems
Now, the big arcs of the next 10 years are shaping up:
Memory-safe by default (Rustification)
AI-native tooling (copilots baked into IDEs/CI/CD)
GPU + accelerators everywhere
WASM as the universal runtime
Signed, reproducible supply chains
My question for you:
Do you think the future is going to be AI-native tooling inside existing languages (Python, TS, Rust, Go)… or will we see a brand-new “AI-first” language dominate?
What do you think: are we entering a new paradigm shift, or is it all evolution from here?
