Since it is always possible to make top score in important criterias. Take for example fruit juice, they will all be handled hygienic, so in the end marketing department is the most important. We will soon also see an end of the engineering department for programming language design. There will be enough powerful meta languages around, including JIT chains, so that programming languages are nothing else then DSLs. It will be harder and harder to find differentiating criterias. So basically modern programming language design will address the taste of end-users similar like fruit juice does. And some end-users have this taste and others have this taste. Today you can basically launch a new language with 1 language engineer and 10 web designers who make fancy websites, blogs, etc.. about the new language. Bye
