New languages other than the ones you're already comfortable with.

You no longer need to feel guilty for not knowing Rust or Go if you're a C++ or Python guru. No need to nag yourself about learning VHDL if you're a Verilog dev. No need to worry about C# if you're a Java person. No need to sweat makefiles if you're a CMake fan.

We will see continuing progress in programming languages, certainly, but that progress will be aimed at making them more accessible to AI, not to humans.
