To give a more explicit prediction.

I expect to see more 'corporate' languages like Go and Hack. Languages designed explicitly for the 'massive software company' use case, with a focus on simplicity and readability.

We might even see languages targeted at company sizes. Like here is the A language for getting prototypes out the door and here is language B which is the one you port to after your company becomes a unicorn and wants to grow the engineering team size to the 1000s.

Not to be HN-typical but what do you think about Rust? I find it extremely interesting that some of the top language maintainers/designers are now employed at different big tech companies.

I really like the idea of rust. The set of language feature they combined is great. The projects I've tried with it haven't gone well, due to some of the http framework libraries I was using having obscure typing. I plan on trying some more projects with it, but racket is probably the next language I'll try.
