A 1982 paper on the future of programming resurfaces

Original: The future of programming (1982)

A 1982 academic paper titled 'The future of programming', published by the ACM, is drawing fresh attention as readers revisit its predictions about how software would be written decades later. Discussions are focused on which of its forecasts held up and how its vision compares with today's tools and practices.

Why now: Readers find it striking to compare decades-old predictions about programming with the realities of modern software development.
