I'm hopeful for Rust. I'm a C++ developer. I use Python all the time as well when I want something to just work, and fast. But by god I love C. I use C for most of my library interfaces so that I can easily make C++, Python, etc versions in more pleasing versions for those languages. It's much, much easier to work from C and to another language than it is to cross language boundaries laterally. That probably won't change, so I'll always use C at least a little bit when building tools. In that respect, C is still winning. It's upstream of everything, easy to compile, and has libraries for everything.
