There's a lot of truth in this post... however I would add a step to David Megginson's "programming language cycle": 5a. Some of the regular developers resent a new language being forced upon them, so the public opinion on the language becomes more negative. I would say Go is currently already in phase 5a/6, while Rust is still in 3/4 - however I have to add that I think both languages are here to stay, so there's more to them than just the hype...
