Part the latter, and part that truly high-level programming will have 
progressed far enough that most things (especially GUIs and the like) won't 
need to be conventionally written. There's also the possibility of some 
non-programming technique taking over much of what is now programming 
(neural networks is the current leader there). The main thing being that 
advancing the state-of-the-art in hardware is going to require radical 
changes, and radical changes are likely to require radical programming 
changes.

You can ask, but I think it is better to let the process play out. It 
doesn't help to air frustration in public.

               Randy.
