Same here. I've seen it described as a "Cambrian explosion" of programming languages in the last few years and I think that's right.
The pace of PL changes and new entrants seems to have quickened immensely in the last 5-10 years.
I don't have a view on the right pace of change, but the idea that it's "slow" feels weird.
I have a lot of PLI ideas myself. I have for a long time, but increasingly it feels like there's little or no need for it (sadly!), because the space is crowded with a steady flux of new entrants and new ideas as it is, many of them well marketed too.
Adding more may be fun to do as an individual. PLD and PLI are fun! But it doesn't seem like we lack for contributors in this area.
