I don't mean that none of the new proposals will make it into say "top 5" universal language, its just that there is a pattern that it may take longer (if ever) than what the sentiment was few years ago
In the rust vs cpp space the latter is definitely trying to get its act together, whether people will again build greenfield projects remains to be seen
