Extinction Event

It's kind of sad to watch Scheme, Python, and Perl self-destruct (and a pleasure to watch C++ go), but that doesn't mean we can't look forward to the future. What will take their place? Whose pet language will achieve widespread prominence? Perhaps Lisp will shake off the AI winter, or programmers will realize the value Haskell's Abstract Bullshite has. Or could it be something new?

people still use APL and Smalltalk, for crying out loud
APL and Smalltalk aren't bad languages

I doubt any Lisper would feel anything but good finding a rack of Lisp books in the store
I would die of shock, or presume that I was dreaming, but that's because every bookshop near me is shit.
