Anecdotally, the only language in that list I encounter anymore is Python. TypeScript is a closest second. I’m rather done with this interpreted, dynamic typed, language and the hell holes they dig us into. DRY could be applied to more contexts than code logic: stop rewriting language features unless there is more than a subjective win of “looks nicer.” or performance is improved by an order of magnitude. The conversations the Python community should be having are not “once again we must discuss and consider a solution to a solved problem.” When that’s the sort of progress the language devs are prioritizing, it’s a sign to me they’re out of ideas or incapable of fixing the bigger flaws.
