F#. Still waiting. Google lost the Java case? Python 3 didn't overtake Python 2 until 2017 maybe? HTM was a failure. Only Intel includes it, and I think it was broken on early chips. Nobody uses it. Go is very popular. There GIL workarounds in the works, but it's still there. Rust might be the better systems language, and it probably went mainstream in 2015.
