Yep, sure. Traditionally it has taken languages 8-10 years from inception to a significant market position, but I think it is going faster now for "small applications". Go is already quite old though and the trajectory has been quite clear over the past 2-3 years. Swift has major adoption at under 2 years. Both are in the"small applications" category at the moment.
CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Dart and React also are in the "small applications area". Takes off in 1-3 years, and can die even faster. I think many of these will go away when EcmaScript7 becomes available.
Seems to be a different "industry standard" dynamic for smaller applications (web services, web apps, mobile apps and so on).
