A 1982 paper on the future of programming resurfaces

Original: The future of programming (1982)

A 1982 academic paper titled 'The Future of Programming' is drawing renewed attention among developers. Readers are revisiting the ACM-published piece to compare its predictions about software development with how programming actually evolved, and debating which of its forecasts held up and which missed the mark more than forty years later.

Why now: Developers enjoy retro-casting old technology predictions and judging them against today's reality.
