Which language you wish would really grow and reach mainstream adoption? (programming.dev)

Assume mainstream adoption as used by around 7% of all github projects

Personally, I'd like to see Nim get that growth.

If we're saying 7% is the bar for mainstream, then Rust is my vote.

C# is not even mainstream by that standard.

I'd also like to see Julia used more.
