I don't know, which fields are you thinking about? I believe the
market is changing.
On OSX/iOS: Swift + Metal is the alternative, throw in some bits
of Objective-C/C++ where you have long running tight inner loops.
On Windows: moving away from C# sounds very risky.
On Linux: this is more of an open space.
Embedded: C/C++, maybe Rust for those with courage? I suspect
moving out of vendor supported tooling is risky (e.g.
system-on-a-chip solutions)
Numerics: Python + low level libraries, Matlab etc.
But, the way I see it TypeScript + "native libraries" has the
potential for covering a lot of ground. The eco system is
exploding.
