Development platform/language

Just sitting here on a hot July Friday and pondering development platforms and languages.

In the past a lot of discussion has focused on Python, and there's always Ruby, etc., and I'm impressed with XOJO...what I've seen so far. Of course Microsoft is still a player, but other than Visual Foxpro, what is the current "most likely to succeed" development platform/language in this group's opinion?

Just throwing it out there...curious what the pulse is and where things seem to be going in mid-2016. Have a great weekend!
