This reminds me of Peter Lynch's comment about the stock market: "a voting machine in the short term, but a weighing machine in the long term".
In the short-term, languages with good developer outreach and other factors win. But you don't get things like generics or the .NET TPL without some serious long-term vision. I really do believe well-designed languages win over a long enough timescale.
