More to the point, what is the chance that there will be a next version
of the standard and, if there is one, what is the chance that it will be
accepted by the world at large?

Fortran 90 only just got accepted.  Extended Pascal and Algol 68 have
not.  You don't want to know about BASIC!  And so on ....
