Waning is the natural course for any language. It takes a Miracle to avoid that fate. COBOL, FORTRAN, C, C++, Java, Javascript (and maybe Python?) each got a Miracle. Other languages didn't. Go and/or Rust might get one, but odds don't favor it.
Miracles are not awarded on merit, so when a language that got one is usable, it's like another miracle.
