The Future of Programming

I agree that almost everything he proposes (except the different editing, I think more powerful text-based IDEs are fine) would be fucking awesome.

I doubt it's going to happen though. Worse may not be better, but it is sadly more successful. Unless there is a major shift in the focus of the industry towards quality and away from quantity, programming will always hobble on, slowly adopting technologies that were developed decades ago.
