Future of Coding?

Last month, I attended a meetup with the group named Software Craftsmanship McHenry County where "Uncle Bob" Martin gave a presentation on Clojure which is a functional programming language.  I don't know much about functional programming languages, but I was able to keep up with Uncle Bob for most of the presentation. Although most of the discussion was on Clojure, Lisp, functional programming, and monads, the beginning was the most important and interesting part for me.  The whole presentation is pretty good but I would recommend watching the video starting from 6:50 through 24:30 if you aren't really interested in functional programming details and functional coding yet.  This  portion of the video discusses the future of threads, cores, solid state drives, databases, data access, no sql, CRUD database, and how writing code may be different in 5 - 10 years.  This portion is basically the lead in to how functional programming might be the solution.

The whole video can be found on YouTube here.

peace yo!
