Ressource pédagogique : Do general purpose languages have a future?

Informations pratiques sur cette ressource

Description de la ressource pédagogique

Description (résumé)

As the computing world matures, the roles of computer professionals are becoming more specialized. In particular, a programmer can spend a whole career doing work in embedded systems or data analysis without a need to gain expertise in other fields. Would such programmers be best served by completely different special-purpose languages? What are the fundamental and commercial factors that drive language evolution? What are the roles of program development environments, libraries, and tools? I think that general-purpose languages will have a key role in the programming world, but that the role will evolve and differ from what most people think of today. To make the discussion a bit concrete, I'll base some of my observations on examples from current C++ and its possible future developments.
