That assumes language will continue to evolve the same way now as it did 1,000 years ago. Back then everyone couldn't read and people were separated. With mass media that's no longer the case.

Compare your texting to 18th century personal letters. I don't disagree, but language will still evolve significantly.

Perhaps our developer docs will come to be seen as some kind of rare "Formal English" (I mean, it kind of is already) and the rest of communication will be in ... emoji??

Naturally, but it's going to evolve differently with so many people connected via the internet.
