I think it makes sense to look at different kinds of programming.

for example, system programming would probably still exists and would be some next generation c or rust...

CRUD programming will probably be obsolete, replaced by no-code tools.

but as for all other software... If nothing changed much in 40 years, then I don't see what can change there...

What do you think is an alternative to text or visual programming? Something akin to "Minority report" ui? )

I want to say something stupid and cheeky like, “I have discovered a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition that this margin is too narrow to contain.“ But really, the answer doesn’t fit as a comment.

All I can truly say is that if history teaches us anything, then it tells us that the last 40 years doesn’t predict the next 40.

I think it does, let's say TV tech, or space travel. Yes, it's not very well defined, but can make some reasonable assumptions. it's interesting that feeling about software is so much different.
