Just because something is announced doesn’t mean that everyone is using it, or even that it should be used. Many projects are created by people interested in the idea of writing languages, so they go off and do it then tell some people. They may be trying to solve a specific problem or just exploring some ideas, and other people might also join in to go along for the ride. It does not mean that they solved all programming language problems, or that it should be used as a general purpose language, and especially should not be pushed into production.
Don’t mistake the number of announcements with people actually using these things. Many will last only a short time and then go away.
There are many other considerations you need to account for before you use a language for real work. The people constantly jumping from one fad to the next are not the ones you should be concerned with following.
