'In December 2004 I wrote: "Those languages that already lend themselves to heavy optimization will find new life; those that don't will need to find ways to compete and become more efficient and optimizable. Expect long-term increased demand for performance-oriented languages and systems." This is still true; witness the resurgence of interest in C++ in 2011 and onward, primarily because of its expressive flexibility and performance efficiency.'

"As previously predicted, just basic homogeneous multicore has proved to be a far bigger event for languages than even object-oriented programming was, because some languages (notably C) could get away with ignoring objects while still remaining commercially relevant for mainstream software development. No mainstream language, including the just-ratified C11 standard, could ignore basic concurrency and parallelism and stay relevant in even a homogeneous-multicore world. "
