Does anyone understand what the author meant by the following statement:

${lang} is the language of the future

This looks like a macro for substitution, but maybe its some hip new term I've never encountered. An actual language or just a placeholder for a language that hasn't been chosen yet?

I think he means to imply that whoever is making the statement would substitute ${lang} with their language of choice as the successor of C.
