Incremental is key. It's what enabled me to use D for my work. Apologies to anyone that feels only enterprise code bases with at least 10 million lines of code are worth talking about, but good luck convincing anyone to rewrite a code base that critical and that big.
I don't think Russel Winder was talking about enterprise code, but for a language to take hold you need at least one significant publicly visible application written in it.
E.g. Go has Docker, Rust has a Firefox engine, and so on... It is taken as a sign of maturity.
