Well, since we seem to be busy prognisticating 100 years into the future, I figure it might not hurt to look back 40 years into the past. :-)
This is a classic paper from Peter Landin back in 1965. The paper discusses the programming language ISWIM (if you see what i mean). The language itself didn't get far, but the efforts to emphasize Church's lambda calculus were heavily influential - many of the current slate of functional languages are the great-grand-children.
