There is a very cool talk on this very subject at: http://worrydream.com/dbx/ Bret Victor comes out dressed like he is in the 1960s and talks about the "future of programming" -- in other words he is speaking like it is 1972 or something and talk about what programming in 2014 should look like. In so doing, he effectively shows us how far off we drifted from what programming could be today. In the talk, Bret Victor points out that one of the reasons programming doesn't evolve as it should is because so many programmers have the attitude ShanghaiBill has and they resist change. We get so full of what programming "is" that we can't see what it could be. BTW, ShanghaiBill, what does failing over the last 30 years have to do with today? Broadast.com failed to bring streaming video to the mainstream in 1999... does that mean no one should ever try streaming media on the Internet again?
