I actually wrote an audio sequencer in HP RPL as a kid.
It was far less complex to code, and human readable. Unicon was pretty cool also, but never became popular. Erlang/Elixir will probably become more relevant as people move into massively parallel constraint solvers.
The monolith centric languages are simply no longer appropriate for many classes of problems. =3
>popularity is a significant attribute if you have to work with others
Not sure why people buried your comment, but there is a good argument for long term support.
NodeJS is probably the worst to maintain if you cater to the lowest common denominator. Easy to show quick results with a low skill team, but generally anyone that can't be bothered to use other languages is going to cause reliability problems sooner or later. Ecosystems like pip/Cargo/Go-flavor-of-the-year/npm that run out-of-band dependency management will have deferred perpetual IT costs. =3
