For me, it is communities that make or break a language. By starting from scratch, with a new language, you are starting with 0 users. You have to win hearts and minds, rewrite the libraries and get market share. Even then there will be places where this new language will not be allowed. I think a new language it's rarely a good solution, ideally we should have an assembly language, a procedural language, Oo language and a functional language, ideally syntactically consistent.
