Honestly, there are way too many programming languages already. Even though a chunk of them are interesting as thought experiments and potential future investments (like that one that content-addresses its own AST; forgot the name), I believe it's high time we all focus on more practical aspects.
Parallelism is one of those. Only microcontrollers are single-core these days, and not even all of them.
I sympathize with the people who have fallen in love with their own idea and are sad that others "don't see the light" and don't support them -- but our world is an imperfect system and that's a fact of life.
F.ex. I'd kill for a LISP with strong(er) static typing plus Erlang's transparent parallelism and runtime but yeah, we don't have that. So Elixir and Rust it is for me.
