Are there still completely new programming languages and -paradigms (which will actually go mainstream and still be used decades after their appearance) to be born?

What I'm talking about are groundbreaking things like the rise of object oriented programming, C++, or PHP.

With new programming languages I mean that they actually are completely different from what you know, as different as when you set a guy who used assembler for a decade, and even programmed some kind of 3D game in it, in front of something as high-level as PHP, Ruby or Python?

Which new paradigms and programming languages are there to come?
What could be different about them?
Who will possibly create them and how fast will they rise?
