Interesting; I've never heard of most of those besides Go (& Perl of course). Is CoffeeScript considered a programming language? :O

It may be because in the past 5 years from today most of these languages have seized development. It is still interesting to see which of the "New Hotness" languages of 2011 are still around and strong. Like Clojure and Go

The site we're on is running on Arc.

Notice the mention of Dart and Rust as up-and-comers.

Kinda sad to see the perpetuation of Go as a "systems-level" programming language. Services-level? Sure.

However, until I can manually control memory it's not going to be a low level language I want to use.

No, technically it's a type of vegetable.

It's how Go was presenting itself in 2011, IIRC. Not so much anymore.

Yeah, I see now that the title was updated to (2011).

Years ago, Rob Pike and Rich Hickey seized the development day. Their languages have not ceased development.

Rust seems to be going very good things. Are there tools for translating C++ to Rust? Maybe the translation of an old game engine could be used to bootstrap a Rust game engine?
