I’m very curious how a language that’s not yet 29 years old can be held back 30 years.

Makes perfect sense to me, it just means the language was already a year behind when it launched.

Which languages were ahead at that point? Haskell started in 1990, so was it only a year ahead after 5 years in existence but since then it has gone 30 years ahead and Ruby hasn’t moved forward at all, or is has it gone 30 years into Ruby’s future after another 30 years?

Or is it that the original comment showed no knowledge of programming language history? It’s a tough choice!
