Subj : Re: future? To : comp.programming From : EventHelix.com Date : Wed Sep 07 2005 03:59 am Here are my $0.02: - Programming languages have got more declarative with time. I expect that trend to continue. XAML from Microsoft seems to be another step in that direction. - C#/Java type languages will become more efficient with better JIT compilers, thus achieving performance close to C/C++. - Seamless integration of databases into programming languages. Direct support for language primitives that allow operations with databases. -- EventStudio 2.5 - http://www.EventHelix.com/EventStudio Real-time and Embedded System Modeling with Sequence Diagrams .
