What is your reason for thinking this? Why is 2000 different from 1995
or 2005 in this regard? A consolidation requires that the currently
big fish (Python, Perl, Tcl, Javascript, Scheme) should somehow try to
kill one another off. What has happened instead is that there is a
nearly-static equilibrium of mindshare. Why should this condition not be
expected to continue for the next 20 or 30 years?

Resistance is futile. Capacitance is efficacious.
