The thing about language popularity is mostly about its ecosystem -- libraries, teachers, friends, and corporations behind them. However, all ecosystem are transient in nature, and all code that interwines and depends on a ecosystem will go with it in time. I guess that is why as I get older, I find myself more attracted to classical languages that do not have much ecosystem anymore. It makes my code to feel less mortal in a sense.
