Anders Hejlsberg recently gave a good talk on “The future of programming languages”. He says future PLs should be more declarative, dynamic, and concurrent.

The Future of Programming Languages
October 14, 2008My favorite VP debate response
October 3, 2008Gwen Ifill: “Do you believe as the Vice President does, that the Executive Branch does not hold sway over the office of the vice presidency, that is, it is also a member of the Legislative Branch?”
Sarah Palin: “Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president’s agenda in that position. Yeah, so I do agree with him that we have a lot of flexibility in there, and we’ll do what we have to do to administer very appropriately the plans that are needed for this nation. And it is my executive experience that is partly to be attributed to my pick as V.P. with McCain, not only as a governor, but earlier on as a mayor, as an oil and gas regulator, as a business owner. It is those years of experience on an executive level that will be put to good use in the White House also.”
Palin reminds me of that moron from Miss Teen USA who babbled incoherently about Iraq.
