I'm getting really tired of learning new languages / stacks every few months. I want one language to write things in. It has to be a pure-OO language and right now that's ruby. I want to edit that code with one code editor. Syntax awareness is a nice-to-have but not essential. At the moment my editor of choice is Sublime Text 3 but to extend it I need to write python which is unideal. When I start writing websites it'll be hyperstack.
Unless your new language can fix all my issues, be open source, and be my One True Human Interface to All Things Machine, I'm going to keep building on ruby, with occasional bash / crystal / rust excursions for speed.
Is your language pure-OO? Do you have gradual typing? Does it run on a common VM? Am I going to have to rewrite everything I'd ordinarily bring in a library for? I can accept every single one of your claims but still not be interested in learning a whole new stack because I can already deliver stuff quickly enough with the one I've been iterating on for a decade. Especially when it could end up orphaned in 3 years if it doesn't get enough adoption.
I'm not saying your holy grail can't be holy enough. But it has to be pretty darn holy.
