<blockquote><p>I expect the future to be as wonderful as the past has been. There&#8217;s still an enormous amount of interesting work to do. As far as the fundamental science is concerned, we still certainly do not know how to prove programs correct. We need a lot of steady progress in this area, which one can foresee, and a lot of breakthroughs where people suddenly find there&#8217;s a simple way to do something that everybody hitherto has thought to be far too difficult.</p></blockquote>
