Unfortunately a lot of major languages are in the corporate world where they don't really seem to want to upgrade. I think to get a good grasp on the "next big thing" you have to look a little lower on the list at emerging languages especially web languages. I don't particularly think that looking at the corporate world is a fair assessment of cutting edge programming. Also I feel like a lot of up comers are definitely facilitated by major hardware releases. At least for independent developers. Such as majors sales of new phones and tablets.

> the corporate world where they don't really seem to want to upgrade Maybe it's just localized corporate insanity, but in the enormous corporation I'm working for we seem to adopt a new technological silver bullet every few years. Some besuited sales force comes in and explains how $product will enable us to sack a bunch of expensive geeks, and the next thing we're spending millions of bucks on retraining and rewriting years' worth of code. Last time it went horribly, expensively and embarrassingly wrong, so maybe we'll be spared more brilliant management innovations for a little while.
