I think I got in a rabbit-hole with it around 2010 for the same reason of liking C# but not liking who backs C#, but I already had enough not marketable languages

Ha! Ain't that the truth :-)

It touches on a big problem for new language development in that there are barriers to entry at getting workable in a new language, but employers don't want to use them unless they can hire for them, and they can't hire for them unless people use them, but people don't use them because they can't get hire'd to use them, rinse and repeat.
