I love being a C developer. I'll still be using it when I retire, though hopefully mixed with Rust instead of C++.

My prediction is that C will still be in active use 100 years from now.

Linux will likely still exist and have a team of people maintaining it, so the odds are pretty good that you’re right.

Those things are immortal right until they suddenly die without a warning.

In 100 years there will probably be somebody maintaining Linux for sentimental reasons. But it probably won't be in practical use.

I sincerely think Linux is “too big to fail” at this point. Will it morph and evolve into a charmander? Probably, but the evolution will be fluid.

[daedrdev]

I think the most important thing for its survival is it needs young contributors who care and thus can one day take over, which seems difficult to do consistently.

[marcosdumay]

It will keep evolving until it's faced with a situation where it just can't move on the correct direction. Probably because of some social reason, not a technical one.

It's hard to imagine this happening to Linux in particular because it's ridiculously flexible. But things always change.

Probably Java and python will also

[rombuu]

SQL will definitely be around.
