Linus Torvalds: sul VB
Linus Torvalds:
I dont think well see a big jump. Weve seen a lot of tools to help make all the everyday drudgery easier - with high-level languages and perhaps the integration of simple databases into the language being the main ones. But most of the buzz-words have been of pretty limited use.
[b]For example, I personally believe that Visual Basic did more for programming than Object-Oriented Languages did. Yet people laugh at VB and say its a bad language, and theyve been talking about OO languages for decades.[/b]
And no, Visual Basic wasnt a great language, but I think the easy DB interfaces in VB were fundmantally more important than object orientation is, for example.
So I think there will be a lot of incremental improvements, and the hardware improvements will make programming easier, but I dont expect any _huge_ productivity help or revolutions in how people do things.
At least not until you start approaching real AI, and I dont think real AI is going to be anything you will ever program.
