These languages each have enough warts that lots of people and languages are chipping away at them.

Go and Nim are doing the strong static typing that "feels like scripting" thing. Even Rust is making a bit of a dent, despite it being a systems language with memory semantics.

There's plenty of room for all sorts of projects to try. Don't count anyone out. Even if the language never gains momentum, its ideas or developers might have some other effect. And even Nimrod was once in this state.
