Yes, that's 100% correct. As per the general discussion, it's not like WE decide what language/tech will be used, or not. If a sufficient number of customers begin to offer well paid jobs for <whatever>, we will see a huge run to learn <whatever>, and that's about it. In the end we all work for the money, and language X may be the eighth wonder of the entire galaxy, but if it doesn't deliver well paid jobs, nobody will bother learning it. my 5p. Berto
