The article is a little mis-titled. It asks the question about the Programming languages, but it goes into discussion development tools. This the correct framing of the problem, the language itself is very hard sell. It requires an an environment to flourish: libraries, build tools, etc. I'm very excited about the variety of languages which are being actively developed right now. There are 2 major open source projects which are helping quite a bit for the new languages: - Visual Studio Code (Eclipse used to be the choice in the past). Every language can get high quality IDE with a simple integration. - clang & llvm - high quality back-end and common code generation tools. The developer tools market is not going to be extremely big. In most mature companies the R&D costs are up to 15% of the revenue and the dev tools is fraction of that.
