2. The future of software engineering
Python! I Just Typed
import antigravity
You’re flying! How?

3. 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

4. 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 …
