Regardless of Clojure's ultimate fate as a language implementation, I suspect that the magical combination of `Epochal Time Model + Persistent Data Structures + Pure Functions` is fairly future-proof.

I think that entity-component-system will replace oop in the near future.

Entities are, very broadly speaking, only useful for games. ECS is a type of composition programming and, I agree, it certainly seems to be a better approach.

Rust traits are essentially static composition, and Rust seems to be eating the programming world.

I cannot fathom what a language with dynamic/late-bound/ECS composition would even look like. Hopefully we get to see some interesting stuff in that space.
