For the same reason that for example Nim isn't more popular. Scala and Rust, although they have reached a certain degree of popularity, are two more languages which according to their awesomeness should be way more popular.

  • popularity among devs
  • jobs
  • ecosystem / libraries

That's the three-way chicken and egg problem.

Thanks for sharing @pofi your opinion and view of what it needs to change so that other languages with potential, can enter the market.
