I feel I have to step up and defend the Python like languages out there...
Yes C/C++ are great languages for doing low level work(fantastic actually) but how many times do you find yourself needing to do low level work...I'm guessing not very often...and when that need does occurr how long does it take you to write a few lines of code? Ages and its probably buggy as hell, so there is a place for these *cough cough* interrupted languages even if they are looked down apon by their bigger and powerful bothers....
C/C++ type languages will never die but they are yielding more and more ground to the newer interrupted languages so evenuatlly they will be overtaken...just look at assembler, at one time it was king of the pile
