This might irk many but going forward, I see only following languages surviving:

1. Typescript + Javascript

2. Rust.

3. Python - because of data science and interactive apps.

Basically, everything that can be rewritten in Rust with or without AI will be rewritten in Rust with or without AI in coming decade.

Famous cases:

1. Some backends at 37 signals from Ruby to Rust.

2. Bun from Zig to Rust.

3. Git in transition.

4. Mold linker from C to Rust.

5. Biome

6. TailwindCSS CLI

And much much more. Even Python interpreter is in process of using Rust as the main language if I am not wrong.
