Don't worry - it's a self-correcting process. IOW it has a direct
effect on the end product (the language) quality. Evolution at work.
Sure, it can be frustrating when an interesting experiment, that
does have some potential, isn't likely to succeed, because of the
wrong choices that are being made. But the alternative, without the
natural selection process, would be even worse.
There's not /that/ much competition in this space, and many more-or-less
isolated niches, so there's enough room for everyone, at least initially.
Rust includes some nice ideas, hopefully it will be able to evolve and
stay around longer than eg XUL. Just like D, it's a good source of ideas,
inspiration and empirical evidence of what works and what does not.
