>Seems more languages catch on the last 5-10 years than they did in previous decades. I think that's partly due to the increasing acceptance of "polyglot programmers", the realization that many programming concepts are shared across languages and that good programmers work with those concepts rather than just syntax or implementations, the resulting push-back against "X years of experience in Y language" type recruiting, and the "use the right tool for the job" while interfacing across different platforms via defined API/messaging system only. It's good see all that come together and enable and incentivize a Cambrian explosion of programming language experimentation. Good time to be in the field.
