Google: starts using / creates a new language every few years - C++, Python, Java, Dart, Go. Failed to stick to the vision of native Dart support inside of Chrome, Angular team deflected to TypeScript as a better alternative, Go - quite limited, e.g. no generics - nowadays(!), useful if you cannot use other options due to "religious" views or the situation.
There was an experiment like that on a multi-country level. We know how it ended.
Thank you, this is a minority society doesn't care about enough! Seriously, very pleasant to read.

PS: the usual recommendation is to build a game not an engine, I guess nobody have foreseen an experienced developer going even lower in abstraction :). One of these days: "I am not satisfied with the hardware we have, where is my soldering iron..."

"A Master Programmer passed a novice programmer one day.
The Master noted the novice's preoccupation with a hand-held computer game.
"Excuse me," he said, "may I examine it?"
The novice bolted to attention and handed the device to the Master. "I see that the device claims to have three levels of play: Easy, Medium, and Hard," said the Master. "Yet every such device has another level of play, where the device seeks not to conquer the human, nor to be conquered by the human."
"Pray, Great Master," implored the novice, "how does one find this mysterious setting?"
The Master dropped the device to the ground and crushed it with his heel. Suddenly the novice was enlightened."
