Ruby-maniacs and SnakeLovers will discover the one true way; even a few PHP adicts may find rehabilitation.	[reply]

Actually Ruby, Python and PHP dominated. If the folks who brought that disaster that is Perl6 had instead focused efforts on packaging Perl5 products like PSGI/Plack did, Perl would still be in the running. Just sad.	[reply]

The Developer:Telepathy suite of modules will be released to CPAN ...	[reply]

I remember working on that project. We had the complete high-level API done, but they never finished the device driver. Then the neural network went down, and all the telepaths crashed. It wasn't pretty.	[reply]

That Perl will continue to be a life-saver and help me to crunch enough data to fill my thesis and finally finish my PhD! I may even thank Larry Wall (and P-Monks!) in my acknowledgements, if only to irritate the bioinformatics department who are all caffeine addicts or in Slytherin house... Just a something something...	[reply]

I predict that, in my new job, I will discover a certain resistance to Perl, until I show how easy it can be to do certain things. And even then, ONE person ... -- tbone1, YAPS (Yet Another Perl Schlub) And remember, if he succeeds, so what. - Chick McGee	[reply]

Hmm. I'm making a Perl program for text processing. I eventually hope to make it have a semi-realistic conversation. So, of course, I voted for the Turing Test.	[reply]

That perlmonks will start the year with a poll that has the least creative response options to date. Something else Something wonderful ... Here's my version of the poll - cast your votes now My top prediction for 2010: A) The world will discover David Cook is a ginger B) Japan will stop eating dolphins C) Google will declare bankruptcy D) The Burj Khalifa will topple E) Michael Jackson's will replace Jesus in the Guiness Records for most appearances in toasted bread after death F) Fortune 500 execs will develop morals	[reply]

Have any human beings actually passed the Turing Test? Information about American English usage here and here. Floating point issues? Please read this before posting. — emc	[reply]

My toppest prediction is that I'll learn how to program... and if I work at it, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.	[reply]
Re: My top prediction for 2010: by AI Cowboy (Beadle) on Jan 15, 2010 at 23:39 UTC
The Turing test will be passed!! I'm getting back into Perl and that is the goal which I've established some 3 years ago. Already made progress and I am hoping one day humans will create something like Cortana (as a rough example)!	[reply]

something exceptionally great :)	[reply]
Re: My top prediction for 2010: by girarde (Hermit) on Jan 19, 2010 at 16:08 UTC
Shouldn't it be, "another Earth-like planet will be discovered?" We discovered this one quite some time ago.	[reply]

It would be nice to see a usable Perl 6 version. CERN LHC still may not be a large enough machine to find a Higgs. There may be some new moves in the area of renewable energy that may be the true beginning of the end for fossil fuels.	[reply]

Something more than wonderful : I'll get my 4th child! Relase date : early septembre 2010	[reply]

Ah, sorry - misread it. I though the poll said "Perl 6 will climb the stairs". I thought that was maybe Rakudo Stannah	[reply]

Definitely I'm gonna leave this job and switch for a better job cos i'm least paid.	[reply]

Something ~~wonderful~~ Insanely Great. Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!	[reply]

Same sh!t, different bag ... ah well, 'twas ever thus ;-/ A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]

I will restart coding in Perl	[reply]
Re: My top prediction for 2010: by chacham (Prior) on Mar 13, 2017 at 10:27 UTC
I'm wondering how many of these, if any, happened. Earth-like planets will be discovered 101/17% earth-like planets 2010 Though, ultimately, it matters what your definition of "earth-like" is. This get a maybe then? The Higgs boson will be detected 100/17% Not in 2010. Though, perhaps in 2012. The Turing test will be passed 26/4% Also not in 2010. Though that may have been due to people waiting for 2014. Perl 6 will climb the charts 135/22% I'm guessing that didn't happen. Which chart anyway? Something else 106/18% Seems undefined. So, i'll just respond with a NULL. Something wonderful 133/22% something wonderful 2010 If it did happen, they haven't told us about it.	[reply]
