Comment on Ask HN: What software technologies will still be around 20 years from now?

Comments

The linux kernel for sure. Servers and smart phones. It may not conquer the business desktop soon, but the desktop is a smaller piece of the pie every year.

Relational databases will be around forever. The nature of data does not change. Relational data will always be a good fit for an RDBMS.

I think skill in low level languages like C will have less market share in the job market, but always needed. It could be a lucky financial boon for people who have these skills, as they will be a rare commodity.
