It's debatable how much improvement theses language are providing. You see people reinventing the wheel over and over, "discovering" "new" things all the time, thinking of new ways of doing things that will make a 0.0001% difference.. all attached to a "revolution" tag.
Lately I've decided to consider IT as a fashion world. My major anxiety is how to clearly see what's "core" and what "fad" and focus properly (and hope I'll be employable by my 50's).

If nothing else, knowing how to write a compiler (especially including parsers) will keep you employed. Not because you need to write compilers all the time, but the techniques are useful and timeless. Unix will probably stick around, too. And I'd be willing to bet on strongly typed functional programming (but I might be biased there).
