“Determining which of the world’s programming languages will succeed over the next few years is not an easy undertaking.”
Andrew Carr, Head of Engineering at SquareFoot tells Dice: “The way to think about languages is not to think about what’s new in 2021 compared to 2020 and which language will ‘win,’ but to think about what was true in 1999, is still true in 2020, and will remain true in 2030.”

In other words, it’s all about the long term—and you should structure your learning (and mastery) appropriately.
“I’d recommend deciding what’s important and building your working culture around it rather than worrying about whether you’re missing out by not using a new language,” he adds. “If you’re an individual engineer and want to know how you can help yourself, double down on the fundamentals of how the languages you currently work in interact with the underlying operating system or runtime. A little focus on the fundamentals goes a long way here, and the fundamentals will still be the same in 2030.”
