So many were wrong that by Moore&#x27;s law we will have plentiful ram and inexpensive CPU to run bloated Java or C# programs. In 2016, desktop applications are still 99% C&#x2F;C++ and fast mobile apps in C&#x2F;C++&#x2F;Object-C. Languages like Rust and leaner new languages with JIT that care more about resources like Go, Julia, Lua, Swift, PHP7, Hack or even newer iterations like C++14 are certainly good way to go.
