"One day Java will be like Cobol." I heard that one two decades ago about Java.

Two decades ago, Java was 3 years old.
It's still true, though, but it's a compliment. Most languages have no hope of ever becoming the next COBOL. For Java, it is practically a certainty, even if Oracle were to pull the plug on it this very moment. It's too big and too important to die.
