Notably missing: APL (Dyalog), J, Prolog, Rebol (Red is on the list), PicoLisp, Racket, Factor, 8th (Reva was mentioned and that was the creator's prior project), and Haskell. Maybe most of the above are too mainstream for the list.
The list seems rather arbitrary. To add to the list, I would consider also: CLIPS, Coq, Dhall, Factor, Inform, Stan.
As opposed to what list? An exhaustive one? The quality he asks of the languages in the list is "interesting", which is by definition rather arbitrary itself.

Kotlin and Dart also. Maybe the same reason? There isn't a preamble with the reasoning...they just jump right into the list.
I love this unabashed reference to the original use of the term "lens". I love Haskell, but I'm embarrassed by its later, different use of the term "lens".

I'm reading a lot about WebAssembly (which, I know, it's not a programming language per se), and more recently Dark ( https://darklang.com ). My open question is whether in the coming 2-3 years there will be a significant paradigm shift in programming languages, or not. My bet is that a combination of new, purpose-specific languages, together with "real" AI, will have a chance to have a big impact.

Where can u read about dark? The site has no docs on it.
