All of these are just guesses.
Niche stuff:
- Lisp, in some form or another will continue to exist.
- Forth will continue to exist because it is possible for a single person to revive it.
Common stuff:
- vi/vim will live on. I will stop typing if it doesn't.
- JavaScript is probably here to stay.
- Java seems like a safe bet for longevity.
- Spreadsheets. Maybe not Excel, but spreadsheets will live on.
- muzani 6y ago5 years ago I would have bet on Lisp being replaced by JS. JS has a lot of advanced features, especially for functional programming, but nobody really uses it that way in production or teaches it that way.
- bookshelf11 6y agoSpreadsheets is a really interesting one here. I'm extremely curious to see how No Code tools can be used in corporate environments to replace more advanced spreadsheet-driven workflows. I don't think they're going away either, but I think there's a lot of value to be unlocked by teaching non-developers how to build basic applications to support their business processes.
