Microsoft and Sun are planning the future in programming languages.
Microsoft has got F#
and Sun has got their ACE, and of course there is AOP.
Some interesting looking stuff for the future….

May be offtopic for a Java Blog, but the next generation of Perl (Perl 6 – http://dev.perl.org/perl6/) looks very interesting indeed.
Perl is too often disparaged as a “scripting language” but its willingness to be influenced by (ok, to steal from) other languages and techniques and concepts that might otherwise be restricted to the academic ghetto make it something far more exciting.
(regular expressions, closures, functional programming techniques in Perl5;
coroutines, continuations, built in recursive descent parser in Perl 6).
F# looks interesting: but on the MS page it
admits that “F# is essentially an implementation of the core of the OCaml language.”
I’m not sure I understand why this is the “future of programming languages”? ;->
