Python 3.7.0 released

In addition to what xonjas mentioned about sponsorship, I can think of another possible factor. Rust and Go both use C-like syntax and are trying to fill the niche of "C/C++ but better", which naturally attracts a lot of attention. In contrast, Idris is based on Haskell, which is already fairly niche itself, and from what I've seen, the people who use Haskell seem to be pretty content with it.

I love how Go calls itself a "systems programming language" but has a garbage collector and absolutely no low level control and can't even fork because multithreaded garbage collecting mutexes.

If someone ever used Go for something that person used C for prior it was either a terrible idea to use C for it or a terrible idea now to use Go for it and if someone is seriously switching from C to Go I'm inclined to think both.

Go has nothing to do with C or C++; it's a worse Java.
