Other predictions of the past.

Microsoft saying they would kill the mainframe.

Java would replace everything.

C++ was better than chewing gum.

C# would kill Java.

But, Cobol is still kicking after 50 years.

As for Deno, I think it's architecture looks great. Its on my radar , but until the market appears I'm not going to stress out on learning it.

The good news is that other frameworks like Angular etc. already incorporate the module system. This means that ramp up time should be small.

Very good observations on old predictions.

And really, Cobol is a great example of a long life. Impressive!

Thanks for sharing.

Let me add another...

JavaScript becomes extinct.
TypeScript becomes the present and the future.
