Blu-ray's are still reasonably common, though they are slowly disappearing as well and I don't think there will ever be a successor. Fact is that write-once read-many is just not considered a very valuable property by itself, and as rewritable storage is becoming cheaper (if only by economies of scale) it'll displace them.
Of course, in practice with optic media you may stumble upon varying forms of bit rot, scratches or recording errors so it's definitively not the be-all and end-all, but still, I've got CDs recorded 30 years ago I can still read in modern systems and that I won't wipe by accident.
