The idea that Ruby and R will die any time soon is pretty ridiculous. Massive user base and lots of active development. Perl probably has more lines in use that

The idea that Ruby and R will die any time soon is pretty ridiculous. Massive user base and lots of active development. Perl probably has more lines in use that a lot of languages and although there isn't much active development it will be in use for a while. The idea Java is doomed is ridiculous at the moment. With android and enterprise software development it must have one of the biggest KLOCs out there.
