Over the past decade, I watched HN's and Reddit's hype waves cycle through server-side JavaScript, Golang, Haskell, and now Rust. With plenty of secondary favorites in the mix like Julia, Nim, Zig, etc.
A lot of these things do find some modest niche to survive in. But none really take over the world as originally forecast by the hype wave.
Ultimately, you either enjoy tinkering with programming languages for personal enrichment, or you do not. Hardly anyone is actually using anything else at our Java/C#/Python/C++ day jobs.
