Go is not developed on github. It is mirrored to github.

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd love to know why haxe never caught on mainstream and what it's primary drawbacks are.
When I first learned about and took a look at haxe, there was no good documentation. Granted, this was six years ago, so it's probably better now.
It's better now:
https://haxe.org/manual/introduction.html
It can still be improved, but it's miles better than it was years ago.

#13Haxe was so promising but it remains largely ignored by the community. https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%2Fm%2F0dbj...

I don't really know. The language in itself is awesome.
My guess is that there are way too many moving pieces since Haxe needs many side projects to be the universal language it promises to be.

#14Interesting to note that Julia comes in at #9 on the list, ahead of Scala, Clojure, and Erlang. I still think it's the most underrated programming language of the decade and hope that its usage continues to grow. I know it's touted as a language for numerical computing and scientific research, but I believe it would make a great general purpose language, perhaps even better than Python. Other than a few minor nitpick…
Does it still not have a decent charting library in the stdlib? I look at it every now and then (always looking for a good successor language for Python) and last I recall you had to use MatPlotLib? Is that accurate? This is stupidly simple in Matlab and should be here as well.

That would be a nope. Gadfly doesn't meet my needs and seems to have stalled in development, so I use Matplotlib via PyPlot, but Matplotlib is a bit maddening to work with. I heavily considered attempting my own plotting library during grad school but couldn't find the time for it :/
(Although I will say that Convex.jl makes up for all the pain of not having a good plotting library...)

#16There must be more. They forgot mine!

Intended use? A safe PHP and a safe container for remote execution of code.
Leaving your computer used by customers arbitrarily within bounded predictable resources making you less stressed and able to do capacity planning.
Lol. I am playing out of my league I hadn't spent much time on it and havent much perspective for valuing it :)
Much more a POC. But if I found a sponsor, I can finish it in 1 month :)
I still need to document the syntax of the FORTH I made, and create storage (~ vars and functions). But after that, my roadmap is handling the concept of integrity/units that will prove more efficient than typing.
Ex : if c is $/unit then comparing/adding it with something in €/l will abort.

#17Golo [1][2] caught my eye given its French provenance -- they usually have a fresh/interesting perspective in engineering. [1]: http://golo-lang.org/ [2]: https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2016/oc...
OCaml is industrial strength, but golo looks just like a fun research project. I guess OCaml started that way though.

Thanks for the reply. I agree that Matplotlib is too complex. I'd abandon Python today if Julia had simple charting in stdlib, but practically nothing does outside .NET (sadly, I'm not a fan).

#19Typical node being ninja stealth. I guess not technically a language on it's own. https://github.com/nodejs/node
Not quite the same but nix[0] and the nix expression language [1] is also missing from the list.

Sure, why not. Give us a master list with all the things.
