English term
jam tomorrow
An innovation pessimist could dismiss [current innovations being fueled by cheap processing power] as "jam tomorrow". But the idea that technology-led growth must either continue unabated or steadily decline, rather than ebbing and flowing, is at odds with history. (The Economist)
Even though work on the eastern bypass will start very shortly, I am not sure I will truly believe it until I see cars driving up and down it, so talk of a southern link going to Winsford will seem even more like more jam tomorrow. (Winsford and Middlewich Guardian)
In the coming year, many other high-profile tech unicorns will face similar challenges. They’ll will do well to focus on being smaller, profitable companies than larger ones promising jam tomorrow. (Wired)

De belofte van morgen, de belofte van gisteren, maar nooit de belofte van vandaag.
Hoewel het werk aan de oostelijke omleiding op korte termijn zal beginnen, betwijfel ik of ik het echt wil geloven totdat ik er auto's overheen zie rijden, dus gepraat over de zuidelijke omleiding naar Winsford zal lijken op de belofte van morgen, de belofte van gisteren, maar nooit op de belofte van vandaag.
