The effect of Moore's law is exponentially falling value of computational efficiency, relative to programmer time. As such, the future belongs to more expressive languages (efficient in programmer time), not more computationally efficient languages (efficient in computation time).

Sure, you'll always be able to find a place in optimizing computation efficiency, but that will be an ever-shrinking slice of programming, until/unless the relative scarcity changes.
