Never! The new kid on the dynamic language block is Julia
https://julialang.org/.
It's a very well designed language that feels a lot like Lua. Because of
the great design it's possible to write a tracing JIT that produces code
that runs as fast as C. Parallelism is baked in too. It's becoming very
popular in the data science community and is likely to eat into Python
pretty quickly.
The reason new languages keep appearing is because the ones we have now
are not that great.
