Well, there is not much invention going on in the language-arena and
'new' languages are mostly just trying to blend some (sub)set of
'language features' into some, hopefully, cohesive package.

Otoh, language features alone are mostly not deciding criteria when
choosing implementation language without considering the whole ecosystem
(libraties, tools support, etc.)
