> , system languages (Go, Rust), How is Go not another example of how "programming languages have stagnated"[0] ? You could argue that it is really practical and productive, but that is a separate point to whether it or not it is "more of the same". Or maybe it is more of the same, just in the vein of languages that most people have forgotten about by now, so it is for all intents and purposes new. Certainly native compilation and some control over memory layout (I guess, with structs and such) and indirection have not been common features in recent memory (that is; those two points and automatic memory management, and overall simplicity compared to C/++).
