The future of software engineering Python! I Just Typed import antigravity You’re flying! How? Source: www.xkcd.com

But who will write the antigravity module If the gravitation engineering experts are trained primarily about different ways to “import antigravity” who will make our antigravity modules High performance Low energy Portable to different gravity manipulation platforms

It’s all about the separation of concerns More and more code is written by domain experts working in high level frameworks. If “high level modular” programming is all our C.S. students learn, then they will become irrelevant. Computer Science … the plumbers of our computational world. Architecture Mapping applications onto architecture Bridging models to connect (efficiently) architectures to applications. Build (and optimize) frameworks. Math (so they can talk to scientists and engineers) Remember, it’s a global market. Industry will go to where the best plumbers are. If the U.S. academic community doesn’t rise to the challenge, we’ll go to India, China, Russia, Canada …
