I agree with your summary, but predictions are very hard (especially about the future). Except for the perpetual no-code and DSL memes, whether git would dominate as much as it did was pretty much up in the air in 2012. Same with functional languages. In 2012 the mainstream was what, Java 1.6? ML/Haskell was like a breath of fresh air, it's hard to understate how pure OOP a la early Java sucks. The fact that some functional features would become mainstream wasn't a given back then, if anything, that is the surprising turn of events.
