The Future of Programming Languages

Jeff Mesnil has a nice post about the future of programming languages. There is no doubt that the language that solves concurrency for the right 80% will be the next Java. The question is, which one?

Concurrency is likely to be one of the main decision criteria when I chose which next language/platform to learn. I envision it being as important as memory management was when I started to learn OO and how it tipped the balance for Java instead of C++.
