I know we developers love our languages.

But I'm always skeptical when underlying language choice is featured prominently as a selling point for any new project.

It tells me, this is a technology-first, users-second enthusiast project.

And thus, I'll be surprised if it tackles the deepest issues users need solved.

That doesn't mean it isn't cool as a proof of concept for a new or popular language.

It just makes me question to what extent it's going to solve the deepest problems with similar or older projects it is competing against.
