definitely not. Java was presented at SunWorld. When C# came out there were ads in computer programming zines. Swift came out on a wide concert stage with most of the Apple community having their eyes riveted on the video stream: https://youtu.be/MO7Ta0DvEWA?t=45 https://youtu.be/MO7Ta0DvEWA?t=45
All that ensures that the "critical mass" adoption to get the language out of niche status would be a non-issue
