Hello!
Both, Python and R, have been around for quite a while now ... and have not replaced anything, yet ... but have complemented existing solutions. So my money is on that they won't replace SAS in the future.
SAS is an old trusted war horse, so you are probably on the save side to invest in learning it. And what might be more, statistical programming is a general craft that quite independent from the platform actually used. It is a way of thinking ... and approaching problems posed. 🙂
But of course there will always be new ideas and new tools in this rapidly changing world ... we have to keep pace with it as well as SAS has to. So, let's do our very best. 🙂
