I think the future is literate programming. Code has to be readible for human and not only machine. As performance will be less and less an issue, this paradigm will become a common sense. We don't program in Assembly Language (I had worked in this language 20 years ago) any more, C++ though still alive will be declining, and I think the rise of Dynamic Languages and Dialects like Linq, JavaFX are just targeting this concept without even knowing it.
Rebol's simplicity - so simple that even a non-programmer today can cope with it in 5 minutes - puts it in first rank from this viewpoint. It will never be a mainstream language, you won't learn it to find a job, you would learn it because it is 20 years in advance.
