Is there anything right now that you would bet on? What is not mainstream today, but seems like a good choice for the future?

Any. If you are a super excellent specialist in your chosen field, then you will not have problems with “idolization”.

Not exactly an answer to the question, but:
tynts .
Somehow I met a question on the Internet: “I want a lot of money. what programming language to choose for learning, so that in the near future there will be the most demanded and monetary one?
The answer was awesome:

If you want to make money, go into finance or something. As an added bonus, you won't have to learn anything!

PS Finding a good specialist in almost any field is not an easy task. Now the mobile market is showing rapid growth (although this is almost the mainstream, but there are still not so many specialists), maybe it’s worth taking a closer look?

Now there is a good trend in JavaScript in its various reincarnations, salaries sometimes reach the level of java developers.

Ruby, Objective-C.

it is not known in advance what will be needed after some time. However, there is a trend: many modern languages are based on Java. It's mainstream, not what you asked for, but still a good foundation for the future.
There is also a prediction that functional programming may take off in the future. Maybe in a language not yet invented.

It depends on what you like more - C #, Java, mobile platforms - iOS, Android, game consoles.
I’m a sysadmin with 15 years of experience, who once swore that in my life I would not write for the web (meaning LAMP), now for the last six months I have taken up C# and Asp.Net

I'd bet on Scala, although some DSL derivative might work.

What is the problem with becoming an expert in one of those languages that are now "popular"? It will take no more time than to become an expert in a language that is not currently popular, but will soon become popular.
Of course, those who started even before the popularization of the language have some head start, but it does not play a decisive role at all, compared to the amount of effort spent on this undertaking and the strength of motivation.
They also have a lot of experience from the category of “how it all began”, “which versions of old libraries contained which bugs”, but it is more suitable for legacy projects. Deep knowledge can be obtained at any time.

started working with one of the currently popular programming languages, often become experts in their field after some time.

Cause and effect may be confused. People have been working with language for a long time. Became experts (for 10 years then). And here you are. Look for communication with people programming in the newly popular language. You run into them.

I'm studying c #, it will definitely be in the subject for several years, switching to another language if you know one is not a problem.
