Q: 

what will be the next big programming paradigm shift

object orientation was the last big paradigm shift I remember. What do you think will be the next big thing in programming paradigms and programming in general?

Edit: I was actually listening to Jaron Lanier interview and he was talking about how in the future we would stop worrying idiosyncrasies and the little tidbits about programming e.g. variables

A: 

I believe in functional programming.

Note: I don't have any experience with F# but I've heard that some banks develop software for their needs in that. -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39492/where-can-f-actually-save-time-and-money
