I think this doesn't quite grapple with the idea of what "The Future" is. Remember that we were supposed to have flying cars in the 1980's, because that's what "The Future" was to people in the 1950's/60's. The problem was that everybody was still thinking in terms of personal vehicles you could drive around, and not flight patterns, traffic control, navigation, propulsion, training, fuel, the expenses of development and production. I think our scripting languages will be basically the same for the near future, if only for the fact that "hand-crafted software" sounds like the development of cars before Henry Ford.
