DTLS is a foundation of CoAP protocol (request/response) for the IoT world [1]

I personally think, it will see wider usage in upcoming decade.. but it is just a guess.

Gosh I hope so! The current melee of devices chatting away without any security is a big cause for concern.

DTLS is also the foundation of webrtc, which is talked about in this topic a lot and which is implemented in most browsers now. This means DTLS is important - but unfortunately not offered by lots of libraries (e.g. not by the Go network/crypto libraries)
