I think the person meant in terms of identifiable trait/philosophy/focus. Swift and c# and maybe even kotlin are languages that are just a big piles of feature and does not really have an principle behind its design like stupid simple of golang or lazyness of haskel

at a time when every language is trying to be edgy/different, it'd be nice to have an actual language that is comfortable and boring without being dumb. Seems like a viable niche to me.

  this is not a boring language, it has a lot of complexity. I prefer simple but interesting language, f# comes to mind.

    Boring in the sense of not being, well, Rust, or a lisp, or an ML derivative or...

  The people that don't like edgy PL features normally also prefer a clean and simple language with orthogonal design not the big-pile-of-features kind of language though.
