Language ecosystem is more important than the language itself. Typing 5 lines of code because of fancy syntax is nice, but writing 20 doesn't take a significant amount of time. What does take tons of time however is figuring build systems, packaging, distribution, debugging, editor support, documentation, community, libraries, etc...
I'm surprised no new languages focus on ecosystem. It is much less fun than making clever syntax I suppose.
