What no one seems to be able to do is make a simple language and leave it alone to focus on tools and ecosystem. It always seems to be that the momentum of solving an initial problem with the language is carried into solving more problems with the language instead of tools.
I hope we can get to a point where we don't need to build tools and ecosystems around a single language. It seems there is just an explosion of domain and generic languages and I see that as a good thing. I want more tooling compatibility so that developers can pick and choose what works for them and maybe even mix them together better. Better educational tooling so we can pick them up faster, or read languages we don't understand easier. etc, etc. things like WebAssembly, LLVM/MLIR, python->jupyter notebooks give me hope.
How do you feel about Go? It's almost twice as old as Swift, but hasn't seen the same rise in complexity, imo. Tooling and ecosystem seem pretty solid as well.
