>That might be true to some extend, but many languages have completely different target audiences Thats somewhat by happenstance though isn't it; you take go, build a good enough scientific computing library, and tease out good enough performance, and get enough coworkers on it, and you'll probably have Go advertising itself as a scientific computing language (when talking to the relevant people). And then you'll probably have go language devs implementing features better targetting the scientific computing community And as the new people feed in, and implementing their own needs and libraries, suddenly go becomes good at ML... And eventually we reach an 80s C-like status, advertised for nearly everything, because of its heavyweight ecosystem. In terms of ecosystem, its really not constant for what they're good at. What might be constant is the flavour of programming the language prefers; you're probably not getting rid of goroutines as a significant language feature no matter how big Go gets.
