Another trend, which I find positive, is how many people are

after all not that good, in terms of bugs/line of code.
Now we need another 30 years until D, Rust, Swift, Nim, <place

Jonathan referenced Mike Action, who when asked about what C++ vs
C said he preferred C and that using C++ was cultural:

He also stated time and time again that the hardware is the

unfortunately.
But in 30 years hardware will have changed a lot…
