Well outside of the link bait title, I've heard of D. I don't think it's going to be the next big language if you can't write a mobile application or a cloud backend with it. Sure it may be more efficient, but Android devices run Java and iOS devices run C/C++/Objective-C/Swift. On the backend, you've got other languages and technologies that more common that have a better chance of making it than D.

You can reuse C/C++ code on Win/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS, achieving native performance everywhere, and then use the recommended GUI toolkit on each platform [i]. However, C/C++ is intimidating, which is why I think compile-to-C programming languages like Nimrod [ii] are going to be the next big thing.
