It won't; that is a naive view. Innovation can't keep accelerating forever, and I would be surprised if it even keeps up its current pace; far likelier it's a sigmoid curve - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

I don't know if you're talking about like the heat death of the universe, and so like nothing is "forever", but I don't see signs of programming language innovation slowing down at all.
