Strongly agree with this list. Only thing is I'd swap out Lisp for Awk/Snobol4/Perl (given the last bullet on text). Text manipulation will be timeless. Even in the "modern world" of PowerBI tools I spend least time possible learning manipulation with DAX/M... I just don't see them lasting the way *nix tools have (and will continue to last).
