I dunno, I think the future of interesting shell scripting languages can either be a.) the basis for a new distro, which will decide to use it for the system scripts, b.) be intended for use with containers in some manner and can simply be added as another dependency, or c.) be primarily intended to be used interactively in some unique way, so it'll just be installed by individuals. There will always be a place for the universal shells and text editors. Bash and vim aren't going away any time soon. But there are plenty of places for non-default choices. Vim's existence doesn't mean Sublime doesn't have a place.
