Revisiting a 1982 take on the future of programming

Original: The future of programming (1982)

A 1982 paper on the future of programming, published in the ACM's communications archive, is drawing renewed attention from developers. Readers are comparing its decades-old predictions about how software would be written with today's reality of AI-assisted coding and modern tooling, debating which forecasts held up and which missed the mark.

Why now: Developers enjoy checking past predictions about programming against today's AI-driven changes in software development.
