I wouldn't be that sure whether it is any more likely to hit than any other prognosticator. For every Go or Rust that gets a lot of play here, there's a D, or Nim, or Crystal, or Pony, or a half-dozen promising upstarts that never amount to anything. There's also perennial interest in esoteric academic languages, and productive but niche languages that will never go mainstream, like Haskell and Lisps.
