"F#, C#, Kotlin, Swift"
All tied in with one singular company each that calls all the shots - For good and for bad. You kinda get all their other stuff showed down your throat along with the languages and things can get bloated fast. But at least things are streamlined. Nodejs had an uprising with io.js in 2014-15 and is now governed by a foundation. I like that a lot. I sleep soundly knowing that no company can pull the rug from under me on a whim.

At least C# (and Swift too) is pivotal to that one big company offering. Free software and openness are important but they are not a silver bullet against bad management.
