To be fair, that is now the common "I rewrote X in Y" theme, which followed upon the Y ∈ { Ruby, Clojure, Scala, Kotlin,.... } from previous years.

And Go too! It's always fun to see posts from around 2014/2015 complaining about how every submission to Hacker News is now "I wrote X in Go", while now Go is the boring stuff and Rust is the hot new thing. I wonder what will be the next Rust though.

Naw, BPF-verified BF. Or someone will make "BrainFuck Plus" so we can get BPF-verified BFP.

Some GC based language with dependent types.

Write it in Malbolge? Slightly less silly, modern C++ and modern Python are evergreen.

They are, but they also are too big, so at some point people will want to replace them with something simpler/smaller. Go has been used for this for some projects in C++ and Python.
