I often ponder if it is a function of the breadth of language use-cases within a problem domain, and or developer effort minimization. C/C++ tend to be CPU bound languages that are tightly coupled to the Von Neumann architectures. Anything that is not directly isomorphic tends to not survive very long unless its for a VM, and supports wrapper libraries. Best of luck, =)
