So much so, that I suspect a lot of programming languages not see wider adaptation because of crude tooling. What good does it make to have advanced language features when the development experience is subpar? I would suspect if a language advertises it has superior reasoning capabilities about code that should also enable a superior IDE experience as well. Where are those IDEs?

No kidding, I tend to wait for Jetbrains to support things officially before seriously trying new languages. I just need my refactoring tools.

  It's worth noting that the IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE was Jetbrains' first and it is written in Java. A few years later they invented Kotlin with a focus on strong IDE support. The language was designed from the beginning with tooling in mind.

    And still I feel that tooling for Kotlin lacks behind the tooling for Java (but still far superior to many other languages).
