AI winter is well on its way

I wonder, though, what will happen with the demise of Moore's law... can we simply go with increased parallelism? How much can that scale?

That part will be harder than we can imagine.

Most of the software world will have to move on stuff like Haskell or functional language. As of now bulk(almost all) of our people are trained to program in C based languages.

It won't be easy. There will be a renewal for high demand software jobs.

I don't think Haskell/FP is a solution either... Even if it allows some beautiful straightforward parallelization in Spark for typical cases, more advanced cases become convoluted, require explicit caching, and decrease performance significantly, unless some nasty hacks are involved (resembling cut operator in Prolog). I guess bleeding edge will be always difficult and one should not restrict their choices to a single paradigm.
