It actually gets worse in a way, in the 2010s there was a bit fad in compsci to redo the 70s, so we LISP'd up again. I bet in the 2050s we'll be rediscovering strong typing and lisp again, and pretending its all new again. I donno if JCL and RPG and COBOL will come back; probably will eventually. If they do come back I hope its after my time.
