Libraries, platform support/exclusivity, fast start-up, etc. The perfect language(s) hasn't(haven't) been invented yet.

I didn't say "perfect" I said "very well designed". I don't think perfect exists. My statement also was strictly about the languages themselves. Languages pretty much never fully go away because there is always some amazingly well done library that will be needed for virtually ever. Just look at all the math stuff done in Fortran. Sorry, I should have been clearer.
Rust has those i believe :)
