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

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

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

At this point, I think it's almost mainstream, and it's still growing fast (and it's getting better, rust-analyzer is really awesome these days, I was there at the beginning, no comparison to today...))

I may be biased, but I think it'll be the next big main language probably leaving other very popular ones behind it in the coming decade (Entry barrier and ease of use got much better over the last couple years, and the future sounds exciting with stuff like this)
