Interesting; I've never heard of most of those besides Go (& Perl of course). Is CoffeeScript considered a programming language? :O

It may be because in the past 5 years from today most of these languages have seized development. It is still interesting to see which of the "New Hotness" languages of 2011 are still around and strong. Like Clojure and Go

  Years ago, Rob Pike and Rich Hickey seized the development day. Their languages have not ceased development.

  Rust seems to be going very good things. Are there tools for translating C++ to Rust? Maybe the translation of an old game engine could be used to bootstrap a Rust game engine?

  Is there a way to mark duplicates? I did a preliminary search for this topic via google before the post and this previous one hadn't turned up.
