I know some people are afraid of change and competition, but I'm thrilled everytime someone shares their new language or library. I don't have to learn or use them all, but it's great to basically have unlimited research and approaches to skim on github/gitlab/etc.. for any language and any problem.

Programming languages can be similar to bacterial DNA. Even if the language never gains broad acceptance, parts of it may be incorporated into other languages.

I like to think of it like music. For each Nirvana type band there needed to be many Pixies and Melvins type bands to influence them.
