That's "consumerization of IT" for you. Millenials and younger are used to looking at pretty websites of "language ecosystems" and blogs about trivial programming problems to assess languages, rather than independence, maturity, and long-term viability as they used to before, and as demonstrated by having language specs and multiple interworking implementations, pluralism of APIs, etc.
