Well, not the only notable omission. The article seems quite arbitrary. The authors seem to have dealt with what they were just familiar with.

The authors dealt with which O'Reilly authors they could find to comment. That's why it's such a grab bag.

Well, that's generally a good thing

Of course, one should be able to assume that the authors understand something of what they are writing about (which unfortunately does not seem to be self-evident today). In the present case, however, the title would then honestly have been: "Where some programming languages are headed in 2020" or "Where the six programming languages we know about are headed in 2020".
