It's arguably overstated, but I'm curious if you would argue that there are languages created in the past 15 years that create as big of a productivity boost as Assembly -> C or C -> something with a GC?

I would not argue that, no. I could relate my own personal experiences over the last 15 years, but they wouldn't generalize and might not even be coherent themselves (because I am human and therefore haven't remained immutable).
