I don't know. I'd prefer to think it won't last forever. Currently, we're in the transition from UNIX and C to the WWW and JavaScript, with languages such as Rust also on the latter half. The transition was from real systems like Multics written in real languages to UNIX and C, with various other groups being lumped in the former half, such as the Lisp Machines.
Now that machines are billions and trillions of times faster and more spacious, UNIX and C seem acceptable despite their disgusting inefficiencies. If machines somehow keep improving, I could see the next band of retards thinking the WWW and JavaScript are efficient compared to what follows, and relics such as UNIX which use only a few hundred megabytes for their inefficient garbage would be seen as not worthwhile, similarly to how truly efficient software defeated in the market is viewed nowadays.
I'd like custom hardware to start proliferating, which seems like the way machines will start improving. If dedicated people can build their own specialized hardware, UNIX and C may die out to be replaced by better, and if people have to implement more of the software they use, they'll care about simplicity and reasonable standards, which would kill the WWW and JavaScript.
