If adoption is below what one thinks is appropriate then one can take it upon herself to argue for it. So that it gains the kind of adoption that one thinks it deserves.

There’s nothing more to respond to your question beyond “agree to disagree”. You see the benefits of the language, want it to succeed, and get cultish vibes. Okay? There’s nothing to counter-argue here, beyond bickering about what is and what is not a cult.

Maybe criticize the language itself? That would be more fruitful.

(I see these kinds of comments on HN all the time: “I want to genuinely ask: why Thing? Why do you like Thing so much?.” And then there are a dozen replies giving stump speeches. I don’t get it.)
