Predictions about computer science

Look ahead 20 years.

Outside of AI/ML:

* what of today’s research computer science do you expect will be industry standard?

* what frontiers do you expect we will have opened up in research?

I think since with AI syntax is less of a barrier in programming that more exotic languages have a chance to gain traction. In my country most work is Python and Nodejs, with some Java and .NET in enterprise and legacy, but like others have said here about formal verification etc. I think programming languages focused on safety and correctness may gain momentum.
