Even if you had said only the last 15 years, that would still include languages like Clojure, Rust, Typescript, Swift, and Julia. But from 20 to 30 years you start to get into the league of: C# and Java, R, Lua, PHP, Ruby... In other words, there is no way you can prove your assertion.

Just to note, I didn’t make the original assertion about the success of Go. I was only asking why your dismissal of the claim was so emphatic. I just stated that I found the assertion plausible where languages from the last 20 years were concerned and wondered why you were so certain Go could not be at the top.

Go is pretty clearly more successful than Clojure, Rust, Swift, and Julia, and at least plausibly more successful than TypeScript.
I should have stopped my range at 20 years :) I wouldn't put Go into the ring with Java or PHP.
