Wake me in 10 years then.  At that time, I won't even slightly care about
the efficiency of the problems I'm working on today.  It'll be interesting
to see whether C++ and/or Python are still around.  C++ definitely will be,
even if it's a fading star.  Python, well... today, the entrails look good!
