But no matter what posts people make the programming language / tool
continues to grow and improve and doesn't die.

Of which there are two (three) main reasons:

1. Each programming language has its own problem domain and people are using it because it best fits the task

2. Millions of lines of heritage code is not something you easily throw away. But there is a tendency for some decennia now, that people are extending there legacy systems with programs written in more suitable languages, if needed. XML-related languages is one of those.

3a. Education: you don't easily reprogram people, unfortunately, esp. not when they don't like to be reprogrammed.

3b. Education: not all people are capable of learning certain languages, mostly because they are too abstract (XSLT) or too complex (C++) which is why such groups of people often flame that "their" language is way better/easier/faster than the other.
