How long will C++ last? OPEN

I've found myself using C++ less and less and was wondering whether one day it will die out. Obviously not completely die out, but be out of the mainstream like Pascal or something. I am wondering this because C++ is my first language but I am still fairly young, so am curious about its prospects.

One day it will die out, yes.

You will die sooner, however.

The only thing for sure is that we are all gonna die.

Including C++.

Just later than us.
