First, it seems gratuitous to restrict your search to "created so
far in the 21st century".  I suppose that allows you to eliminate Java,
which is extremely successful and was created a bit before the 21st
century.

Second, I'll ask for a source supporting your statement.  I looked for
one and the first result I got is this:
https://pypl.github.io/PYPL.html

... which seems to suggest that Go is less popular than Swift,
TypeScript, or even the relatively obscure Kotlin language.  It's also
behind C# and Objective-C, and the former can probably be considered a
21st century language.

My conclusion from this is that Go's popularity is mostly visible in a
few restricted circles of computing, and in those it doesn't seem to
fare that much better than Rust, either.  But focussing on those two
languages shows a certain selection bias.

Antoine.
