I've wondered the same. It feels to me like we as a software writing community are yearning for a new paradigm or challenge.
Often time this expresses itself as a framework du'jour. But recently it seems like people are reaching back to languages of yore to see if there is some piece of mystic art to be applied to today's problems.
I'll admit I'm guilty of this outlook. I would love to write code professionally in Forth, APL, or any number of 'long gone' languages.
