There will be a lot of movement on top languages, depending on the
application type and environment, but particulary in web languages.
Some big companies are using various of them, because of this movement, and
because of the rise of new ones based on old known ones.
In example, Java is used a lot and keeps evolving too fast: Java 6 was the
kings for various years, then came Java 7, 3 years later Java 8 (2014),
this year Java 9 and Java 10 is in development.
HTML 5 + Javascript 5 (now 6) + CSS 3 (and 4 any time soon) is a must: They
are avolving fast too, and Nodejs is growing at light speed. I think that
Nodejs is a very interesting and power language (based on JS), because
allows you Javascript on client and server side, it's very scalable and
will be fantastic on many environments, including IoT.
All this came with a lot of complexities, because now yo don't have "one"
language for programming, testing and debugging, but 2 or more, so
development is more tedious, tricky and difficult, and there are many more
variables for web development. Rick Strhal surely can talk a lot about it:)
On the desktop side the movement is not that high, may be because almost
everybody wants "web" apps, that at this time can interact like desktop
apps with the bonus of conectivity and ease of deployment.
I'm missing the VFP calm winds. Too many languages out there and new ones
every time make some caos for my taste.
Excellent feedback and observation, Fernando! Thank you very much for
your input! As always it is frustrating when trying to determine where
to invest your time for learning and gaining expertise.
