On February 10, 2007, Steve Yegge told us the Next Big Language would arrive within the next 18-24 months. That means that it will happen sometime within the next three months. I can hardly wait!

I voted up considering it's sarcasm.

Yeah, I wonder what all the down votes are for. Did they not realize that?
This is an example of one of those bold predictions about future IT trends that bloggers and pundits like to make, that just never seem to come true. (Think paperless office, network computer, OO databases, Java will be killed by XXX, etc.) This was an extremely rare instance where the guy actually gave a timeframe for his prediction, so people can actually evaluate its accuracy. I'll bet he never makes that mistake again.
