I understand your intensions, but for compiled languages usually it takes years to be accepted by developers as a mature language. It is so even for Go and Rust. Both of them has giants behind them and, again, it took many years for them. As a solo developer you could make it more specific to become popular in some particular field and then to scale it. If the learning is too simple for you, then you can choose anything else. But if you wanna grow, turn it into product. If you want it to be more popular as a server side programming language you can add some language constructions to make it easy to write routers, parse requests data and react on it maybe with pattern matching. Hope this would help you to find your way to make it bigger. Good luck

True, it takes years. And as a solo dev its really hard. Turning into product really makes sense, i understood now i need something unique or specific feature. but as of now only writing apis routers and server with super simple syntax with speed and security only having in my mind. but I value your point, do you have any suggestions or recommendations? I'm also thinking to start new post to take ideas and suggestion from community.
