The long term trends for the top 10 programming languages can be found in the line diagram below.
+ Some traditional languages as Java, C is down (not too much). These languages will not die (at least in 10 years later) because of the need to develop/maintain enterprise application/ embedded systems.
+ Scripting languages like Ruby, Python are trends at this time.
+ PHP still keeps its position. There are many open source from PHP community with great features. It can offer the cheapest solutions to develop application for small/medium organizations.
+ Objective C is still new but a hot trend because of the need to develop applications on Mac and iPhone.
