Python is 22 years old, Golang is 4 years old. Give it time.

  Haskell is even older, but you don't see many job ads for it. I don't think it has much to do with the age of the language. Node.js is an example of a very young platform that many, many startups are using. (Although, to be fair, JavaScript has been around for quite some time now.)

    In order for a programming language to get used: * it has to fill a need people have. * people have to know about it. * it has to have a mature implementation. Age helps with point #2 and #3. With regard to JavaScript, the web browser pretty much forces you to use it. So it doesn't really matter how good or bad it is, it will have adoption.
