If backend programming was epic fiction, then right now, the world is divided into the following countries: The Kingdom of Java, The United Languages of .Net, and the Confederacy of the Scripting Tongue (where racial tensions are crackle under the temporary truce between Ruby, Python, Javascript, Lua, etc.). For the past decade, these three kingdoms constantly struggled against each other for the most precious resource of all: developer mind-share.
But what they didn't know and couldn't prevent, was that their world would soon become (neigh, has already become) the battle ground of 3 ultra-advanced warring alien species: Go, Rust, and Elixir. Backed by unimaginably powerful forces (except Elixir, which is just open-source by Poland's own Jose Valim), the upstart alien languages threaten to herald in a terrifying future for the current 3 powerhouses.
OP's article, and the fact that lots of people are agreeing, is a sign that one of the invading aliens is weakening.
