Are there going to be any more major changes in computer programming languages?

Asked by LostInParadise (31921points) October 5th, 2011

The last major change was object oriented programming, which is pretty much ancient history. What other changes might we see? Will there be special constructs to work on multi-processor computers? How about having computer languages that look more like regular language? There has been a lot of work done on natural language processing. We should be able to apply it to programming languages. It would be nice to have the computer understand something like, “Move from directory A to directory B all text files created in the last week.”
