It solves a lot problems, but mainly it solves problems in a kind of idiomatic way that makes it feel like a big paradigm shift, which contributes to genuine enthusiasm. This combined with the massive funding and community around it helps it feel like something you can give yourself to a be supported.

Whether its the best solution or "deserves" its hype is not a real fruitful question you can ask, as there are many things you need a computer to do, and some of them aren't systems programming. Some things benefit from different kinds of ergonomics, thats ok.

Is there a language that is more funded out there right now?
