Python, Java, Kotlin, Rust and Swift - how (probably) will these languages change in 2020?
The article on the O'Reilly website discusses the future of programming languages as we head into 2020. The authors emphasize that with the increasing complexity of systems and the growing importance of data, programming languages need to evolve to meet new challenges. Specifically, tools and languages that support machine learning and data analysis are becoming more prominent in the landscape. Additionally, there's a growing diversity in programmer preferences, which may lead to greater fragmentation within programming ecosystems. The article concludes with a reflection on the future of programming, suggesting that as technologies develop, the languages that drive them will also need to adapt to these changes.
