Functional Programming is about 50 years old and first surfaced in Lisp in the late 50s…

If we’d to vote up the “next revolution” of system development, my vote would go to “O2 Software Process/Architecture” …

i think that there will be a merge between the UML and the Programming Language so the product will be the Visual Programming Language. this is much more popular in Computer Graphics field but i think when the right time comes this will be the 201x

Right now there’s a huge revolution going on in the database area for web apps. Collectively referred to as NoSQL, there is a rash of new databases that aim to replace relational databases like MySQL.

There’s also a trend towards more web oriented aware software. CouchDB, one of the NoSQLs, comes with it’s own HTTP server. The newest source code control tools are distributed and come with their own HTTP server too (git, Mercurial, Bazaar).

Javascript is probably the most popular of all the functional languages.

On mobile phones there is a big swing towards open source software.

And there still are lots and lots of dinosaur places doing good old C and C++ development.

There was a C++ revolution. Then the internet revolution, during which C and Perl where battling it out for the CGI language. Java was being marketed as as client side Applets, but Sun finally caught on came up with servlets. Then, there was a server side Java revolution. Since then there hasn’t been a significant revolution and I can’t imagine what would propel one.

For processes I think scrum is realy good and working. For FP… what do you think is the next F-Java? I don’t see it out there. Scala? Hm. Maybe maybe. And I don’t know any colleque jumbing on the F-train at the moment.

About the only revolution we’ve had in development is the mainstream acceptance of garbage collection. OOP, Agile, Functional programming are not revolutions.

The next generation should be a relational language.
More and more, the main activity of software users is not to create the objets,but to link them, to match them, to tag them etc …
A language including the object model but focusing on managing relations between object will fit the next big need.

i dont know what is that language but i observe users and that’s what i see.

I remember getting all excited about FP back in the late 80’s. Good thing I didn’t wait for it to elevate in the hype cycle.
