Well, I've seen that people think that MS C++ is keeping C++ back 
because it failed to keep up, so people couldn't write portable 
code using the latest features...

PyPy and gogcc doesn't hurt Python and Go because the reference 
interpreters/compilers are mature, stable and cannot take more 
manpower...

Apples and oranges, does not compare well.
