Here's the deal: there is no such thing as a general purpose

lead to believe that C or C++ were general purpose, but that
only happend because there were no visible viable
alternatives. C is more and more becoming a kernel/embedded
language, C++ is more and more becoming a legacy/niche
language. C++ is only a game dev language after you add
various extensions (e.g. simd). It is only a number-crunching
language after you add some other extensions.
Yes, that is what I believe is about to happe, as LLVM has
lowered the threshold for new languages... People slowly
gravitate towards the most comfortable language for their
application domain as they establish themselves.
