This trend has been clear for awhile. Interestingly, this will put performance pressure back on programming and languages as they become the "new" bottleneck.

I'd expect an implicit migration away from slower languages toward faster ones.




To some extent, yes, but 'slow' languages usually delegate batch work over large datasets to optimized libraries.

Even more likely, as I see it, is this contributing to the increasing rise of tools like spark, hadoop, etc. Slow languages will continue to be popular as orchestration around these tools.
