This is a problem? If not for the early adopters, how would new languages get a chance?

I agree with the positivity. It is always easiest to critique and stick with the familiar.

Something we can quantitatively take away from the slur of new languages is that new languages are easier now than ever to create/implement. This should be a good thing. This means faster iteration can occur. Even if that iteration is not necessarily taking place, the creation of new languages verifies this ability.
