"I might've said D, but I don't think it qualifies as
"emerging" since it's over a decade old."
Well, it's just ridiculous, although I often see people trying
to say that minus D is "a decade of transition from D1 to D2.
Many call D `the dead` :) But I believe that sooner or later D
will destroy C++, because it is still in development, though
not very fast, but stable and it is good! D will rise to the
top of the mountain `Uphill`, despite all the prejudices of the
people, knowing nothing about the history of D.
And, by the way, I have never heard of the Crystal :)
D isn't an emerging language.
And that's a good thing.
Dozens of languages pop up and die before anyone notices them, D
has been around for what, 15 years? It's obvious that it's not
going away anytime soon.
People also refer to Haskell as if it's some new hip language and
it's almost as old as ANSI C.
