Speaking about the trends in the development of programming languages, first of all it is worth identifying those driving forces that contributed to their evolution and continue to have a significant impact on their further development.

Striving for excellence:

The programming language is an indispensable tool that serves a programmer to create software – this is a truism that is difficult to disagree with. The better the programming language, the more perfect the program can be written.

Focus on efficiency:

Software creation can be compared in many ways to manufacturing, where, among other important factors, the determining factors are: the productivity of the development team, costs and the quality of the final product. All software creation technologies being developed must be supported by programming languages.

Increasing the complexity of tasks:

Every day, the tasks solved using computers are becoming more complex and diverse. This leads to the fact that the best minds on the planet, represented by talented developers, strive to create new, more powerful, problem-oriented programming languages.

Extending the software lifecycle:

Programming languages should help developers in the difficult struggle to extend the life cycle of programs. After all, few people are interested in an outdated, morally and technically outdated product.

It is not so easy to identify a general trend in the development of programming languages. At the same time, it can be assumed that this process will move towards increasing abstraction in the near future. The main programming programs will strive to change the level of detail, to simplify as much as possible. This will lead to an increase in the reliability of the software creation process as such and a reduction in the number of mistakes made by developers. 

Neural networks will continue to be implemented in art, manufacturing, healthcare, and education. Artificial intelligence will influence new trends in the development of programming. This does not mean that AI will replace developers, but rather that programmers will have useful assistants.
