“It feels like programming languages are stagnating.”

As they should be. Not every language needs to turn into C++, Rust, Java, C#, or Kotlin.

The only group I see lamenting about features these days are PL theorists, which is fine for research languages that HN loves but very few use outside the bubble.

Some of us like the constraints of C or Go.
