Is clojure the newest popular-language-you-can-get-a-job-in? It's initial release was 2007. Rust (2010) (edit Kotlin (2011) perhaps), but point being there aren't many newer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_programming_languages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_programming_langua... That metric is subjective and arbitrary, but it's on my mind because my company is hiring for clojure developers (see my immediate comment history & apologies for the advertisement). And it's on my mind because common lisp and scheme are _old_. One of the nicer things about clojure is relatively frequent mentions of how common lisp did things, then a choice to hew or differ. And common lisp and the lisp family of languages have a long history. I like this as an art-piece of lisp's age: http://kazimirmajorinc.com/Documents/Lisp-code-typography/index.html http://kazimirmajorinc.com/Documents/Lisp-code-typography/in...

Go came out in 2009.
thurn 5y ago
Swift (2014) would be a strong contender
staplung 5y ago
Go (2009), TypeScript (2012), Julia (2012) and Swift (2014) are all contenders

  PHP(2005..n) for when you fail the interview for the above "fancy lang" at FAANG :P PHP is like the backup-plan(welder,lawyer etc) your parents wanted you to have before going out on the road with your band and making it big :D /mostly-sarcasm - but a little true ?

    It is, a friend built a consultancy doing PHP, and they have enough work to keep them going, keep the lights on, and focus on other stuff relevant to them. PHP would actually be (1998...n), PHP 3 was when it took off.

      >PHP would actually be (1998...n), PHP 3 was when it took off. Yea was wondering what to put as a start date, I decided on the year I left varsity and walked into my first "professional job" coding C++ (Borland C++ Builder) within 6 months, we changed the "C++ Server" with Apache and some wacky PHP files. But you are right :)
