That might be true, but it didn't mean they will commit to ONE language for forever. Even governmental agency's code gets rewritten in newer languages eventually:

C, Java, Javascript, Ruby, PHP, Python, all these languages are 30-50 years old. I don't see any of them fading away the coming 20 years from now (you might argue about Ruby since it's much smaller, but it has a very strong community keeping it moving). You could bet your career on any of these and I'm pretty sure you will be fine 20 years from now.
