Don't rush to conclusion mate, it is still early by programming language standard, and jury is still out on Go and Rust.

Remember where was Python when 20 years old? It's just another scripting programming language on the block and was playing second fiddle to Perl and TCL. Ruby was hot on its heels due to RoR hipsters [1]. Replace Perl/Rust, TCL/C++, Ruby/Go and RoR/Kubernetes, see the pattern emerging for interpreted/compiled programming languages diaspora.

But now look how far Python has come despite the transition from Python 2 to 3 fiasco. At least D has passed the stage of growing pain while transitioning from D1 and D2 with minimum damages.
