I worry about go 2.0 and personally will revisit the question based on what the outcome looks like. Rust also seems to have good momentum and as an outsider glancing in, generally sane architectural decisions. It remains a language I would _like_ to consider on a future toy project if it fulfills the needs of the space.

I feel they will continue to be "supported" for a long time, like Perl 5 surely will be. (Though I'd avoid starting anything new in it, there are stable mature things written in it that, like with mainframe stuff mentioned elsewhere, might just end up being encapsulated.)
