I'd say Elm is a decent example. Released 2012. Historically, the ML family has been fairly unpopular, with a little bit of ocaml in the wild and not much else.

I'd say Elm is a decent example. Released 2012. Historically, the ML family has been fairly unpopular, with a little bit of ocaml in the wild and not much else. Elm is certainly also niche, but I think it meets some definition of "working".
- Zababa 5y agoApologies if that looks like moving the goalposts, but what I meant was a language that wasn't well known, did some serious efforts to acquire new users, and now is relatively well-known. Elm seem to have been made from the start to be accessible.
