Programming language evolution continues, and more programming paradigm are used in production.

Some of the trends have included:

* Increasing support for [[functional programming]] in mainstream languages used commercially, including [[purely functional programming]] for making code easier to reason about and to parallelize (at both micro- and macro- levels)

* Constructs to support [[Concurrent computing|concurrent]] and [[Distributed computing|distributed]] programming.

* Mechanisms for adding security and [[reliability verification]] to the language: extended static checking, [[dependent typing]], information flow control, static [[thread safety]].

* Alternative mechanisms for composability and modularity: [[mixin]]s, [[Trait (computer programming)|traits]], [[typeclass]]es, [[Delegation (programming)|delegates]], [[Aspect-oriented programming|aspects]].

* Component-oriented software development.

* More interest in [[visual programming language]]s like [[Scratch (programming language)|Scratch]], [[LabVIEW]], and [[PWCT]]

* [[Metaprogramming]], [[reflective programming]] (reflection), or access to the [[abstract syntax tree]]

** [[Aspect-oriented programming]] (AOP) allowing developers to insert code in another module or class at "join points"

** [[Domain-specific language]]s and [[Automatic programming|code generation]]

*** XML for graphical interface ([[XUL]], [[Extensible Application Markup Language]] (XAML))

Some notable languages developed during this period include:

Programming language evolution continues, in both industry and research. Some of the trends from 2000s to 2010s have included:

Programming language evolution continues with the rise of new programming domains.

* Increasing support for [[functional programming]] in mainstream languages used commercially, including [[purely functional programming]] for making code easier to reason about and to parallelize (at both micro- and macro- levels)

* Constructs to support [[Concurrent computing|concurrent]] and [[Distributed computing|distributed]] programming.

* Mechanisms for adding security and [[reliability verification]] to the language: extended static checking, [[dependent typing]], information flow control, static [[thread safety]].

* Alternative mechanisms for composability and modularity: [[mixin]]s, [[Trait (computer programming)|traits]], [[typeclass]]es, [[Delegation (programming)|delegates]], [[Aspect-oriented programming|aspects]].

* Component-oriented software development.

* [[Metaprogramming]], [[reflective programming]] (reflection), or access to the [[abstract syntax tree]]

** [[Aspect-oriented programming]] (AOP) allowing developers to insert code in another module or class at "join points"

** [[Domain-specific language]]s and [[Automatic programming|code generation]]

*** XML for graphical interface ([[XUL]], [[Extensible Application Markup Language]] (XAML))

* Increased interest in distribution and mobility.

* Integration with databases, including [[XML]] and [[relational database]]s.

* [[Open-source software|Open source]] as a developmental philosophy for languages, including the GNU Compiler Collection and languages such as [[PHP]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[Ruby (programming language)|Ruby]], and [[Scala (programming language)|Scala]].

* More interest in [[visual programming language]]s like [[Scratch (programming language)|Scratch]], [[LabVIEW]], and [[PWCT]]

* Massively parallel languages for GPU graphics processing units and supercomputer arrays, including [[OpenCL]]

* Early research into [[quantum computing]] programming languages (see [[quantum programming|list]])
