OCI will remain in tact for now mainly for legacy systems and apps that will require the speed only c/c++ compiled apps can currently provide. However, Java will continue to grow and eventually dominate. They just need to make it faster and more robust.

As far as skills go, the next generation will speak Java and probably spend their rookie days converting procedural C programs to Java Classes. A generation or two beyond that will confuse C with Cobol. Mark my words!
