I think all of the C-style languages are doomed in the increasingly parallelized world. I don't know much of OpenCL specifically, but all of the HLSL/Cg/GLSL derivatives seem woefully unprepared for tasks which are not "embarrassingly parallel". Some of the newer derivatives might be capable of solving tougher problems, but that doesn't mean they are good at it.
