I imagine if this question was asked in 2010 then there would've been a similar answer from someone. And if no new programming languages were created at that point then we wouldn't have gotten Rust.
A sacrifice I'm willing to make if it meant we hadn’t gotten the partially supported pile of dung that is Dart. For every potential gem, there are piles of ossified crap.
EDIT: Plus, Rust’s initial debut was mid-2010, so it would have been a coin flip chance at worst.
