I think the future of back-end development is heavily decided by the future programming language. I think we are still missing a programming language that is safe, fast and productive. Safe meaning type safe and memory safe(Also memory leak safe), Fast meaning near zero abstraction costs, and productive meaning productive syntax and good tooling support. And it has to be built on modern compiler architecture, which means a compiler exposes an API for tooling(symbol lookup, refactoring, etc.), so people around the world don't need to reinvent the wheel.

I personally don't think any programming language fits the above description. And we have yet to invent it.
