I think LLMs will interact with programming language design, and software design, in a way that will likely be significant but is currently very difficult to predict. Sort of a singularity moment for software, where we're not sure what comes next but it does seem likely significantly change.

From my own experience, writing software today doesn't that much different than it was 20 years ago using some java IDE from that era (Borland? maybe I'm remembering it better than it was). I can imagine what development will be like next year with increasing integration of copilot like tools, but I can't imagine with any confidence what software development will be like 10 years from now.

I too had fond memories of JBuilder until i tried to use it … just not good at all. As bad as eclipse was, it was still far superior to Borland’s products (20 years ago). Funny the rose coloured glasses we put on sometimes.
