The analysis that _where_ a programming language is used is more important that its features or aesthetics is a point of view worth paying attention to.

By the same logic it could be argued that the next leap forward in programming languages will be visual/simple languages accessible to the lay-person with a it-just-works runtime. A lot of modern languages represent incremental improvements and optimizations but there are still huge breakthroughs to be made in accessible end-user programming. A language and runtime that is simple, accessible and open (so as to be able to become ubiquitous) would have my bet on what will win the language wars of 2025.
