Abstract
Ten years ago, languages were a big part of the computing landscape, influencing a great deal of the way startups and enterprises tackled big challenges. The culture of an organization could almost be defined by the choice of language that they made to develop key solutions. But today, programming languages have become less prevalent, and new languages are no longer appearing.
In this talk, I will discuss where we’ve been, and how we got to where we are today, while also thinking about where we are headed in the future.
