TS, TS and more TS ... already dominant, only poised to become more dominant. Yeah I know it's a boring answer, but it just seems the way it is.

(I could have said "JS" instead of TS, but the move from plain JS towards TS seems unstoppable)

I always had a little bit of hope that FP (functional programming) languages would reach a critical mass and have a breakthrough but it still hasn't happened, and probably never will (but the FP approach to coding will probably grow, within conventional languages like TS).

And on the sidelines (crumbs left when TS has taken the lion's share) - obviously Python, some PHP, some Ruby, probably Go, maybe Rust?
