I'm reading a lot about WebAssembly (which, I know, it's not a programming language per se), and more recently Dark (https://darklang.com).

My open question is whether in the coming 2-3 years there will be a significant paradigm shift in programming languages, or not.

My bet is that a combination of new, purpose-specific languages, together with "real" AI, will have a chance to have a big impact.

Where can u read about dark? The site has no docs on it.

Paul Biggar blogs about it on their Medium blog.

Exactly - that's where I've read about it.

what's the paradign shift you are thinking might happen?

not OP. Not this specifically but this generally these types of changes. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet/web-apps/client where we can run abitrary desktop languages in the browser is going to be huge.
