I think it is fine for C and C++ to be relegated for use caches where they make the most sense. I don't see the point of comparing them to niches, markets or cases where for instance garbage collection is fine.

And, I already mentioned Go, Swift and Ada.

Objective-C is not really on my radar, it's specific to Apple, and it doesn't seem like Apple is betting on it for the future.

D and Nim are languages with low momentum relative to others.

I am not sure the AOT approach will work. Maybe, maybe not. There are direct and indirect obstacles, I believe. D is probably interesting here; as I understand it, it supported both GC and no-GC. But, that meant that a lot of libraries used GC, and thus were not necessarily good options for applications that required no-GC. In some ways, a programming language can also be what people build with it and what its ecosystems are like.
