What language created in the last 5 years has a feature that wasn't originally discovered in the 80s or earlier? It's all too easy to bash new languages for not having some hot new, never before seen feature, meanwhile there are almost no examples of new languages doing earth shattering things.
I think what we're currently seeing with Go, Rust, Elixir and others is taking the features that are perceived as good as trying to combine them in different ways.
