Disagree. What we call coding today will have virtually nothing in common with what they call coding, if they do at all, at the end of the 21st century.

Just look at tools like Parse or Visual Studio Code Search. The future is going to be very, very different from the present.

You are seeing the mechanics of programming and missing the programming. Do Parse or Visual Studio Code Search change what a lambda expression is?

Programming is math, even if some branch falls out of favour, at least the foundations will be useful.
