Language success is in large parts driven by what system adopts that language.
Objective-C’s success was driven by iOS.
C’s success was driven by Unix.
C++’s early success was driven in large part by 90’s GUI frameworks ( MDC, OWL, Qt, etc.
I think Wasm is shaping up to be huge in that you can safely run, high performance code across multiple operating systems/CPU’s. Of all the languages, I think Rust has the best WASM tooling, and the 2020’s may end up being the WASM/Rust decade.
