There will never be an ULTIMATE programming language.

The ULTIMATE programming language can claim, that it is the fastest, most intuitive, and portable across all platforms, and is best for all and any programming task.

... also the last.

Some things should be reprogrammed with an axe.
lala, your comment made my day!
"ultimate" or not. there shall be a language that's close to c/c++ in speed, as convenient as bash for scripting and support (reasonably) multiple programming paradigms: functional, procedural and oo etc.
@ididak no there won't... the speed thing is a complete redherring. When computers get fast enough we worry less about the speed optimization of the code. This is patently true because we use languages like python, ruby and Java now which are all pretty slow compared to C++.
The speed of the computer will just make speed optimization irrelevant.
Things can always get better, and if you think they can't you're using the wrong perspective.
For some situations you require loose typing for others strict typing. There is no single programming language which can fit in perfectly with every situation.
