Well, there is hope for a new infrastructure to gain interest if 
it is domain specific, but it isn't really making a good argument 
for a general purpose language.

One such example is server-less event-driven websites running on 
cloud-solutions. The language used in event handlers is less 
important, could be javascript for that matter (e.g. Google 
Functions). Although something domain specific probably would be 
better.

Of course, a general purpose system level language is used for 
implementing the infrastructure that enables this, but that is a 
very small market.

On the other hand, a language that allows you to build domain 
specific features on top of it, with ease, could offer something 
unique.

Not really a B&W issue, but most, if not all, current languages 
fails at that critical "with ease" requirement.
