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?

I'd like to see something completely new.  Not just a new language with a bunch of new tricks, but a completely new paradigm.  I don't think this will happen until a ways into the future, perhaps when the computing world undergoes some kind of radical transformation somehow.
