Something completely new both released this year and that has reached wide adoption? I doubt any.
Off topic but it's interesting dinosaurs like Ada or Fortran are actually making a subtle come back as an alternative to C/C++ or other non-gc languages such as Rust. Ultimately the need to write native tools that are as fast as possible because businesses work in a scale never seen before that make even regular JVM unfit for the job is an interesting turn of events in computing. This + scientific computing and the democratization of embedded computing.
