Angelika Langer wants to know what's to come in the world of programming languages, and what is the next "curly brace" language to revolutionarize the programming world, since Java and C# didn't do it. Well, Angelika, I don't know about you, but I have already thrown away those curly braces (although they are nice in creating dictionaries), and been happy ever since!

Will there be a revolutionary language like C again - invented by programmers rather than corporations?

A language that will be fun and exciting to use - free of baggage, convenient, consistent, comprehesible?

What would it look like?

if language == 'python':
    print "It looks like this"

Do we need such an innovation, or are we happy anyway and cannot even think of a language better than Java or C#?

(And, yes, there are other languages too.)

But it might be just me.
