Hopefully the tooling will take off once the language stabilizes. Using a "newish" language is a total exercise in frustration when you are a spoiled kid who expects an IDE to come with your language configured, and a nice big play button for running your first program.
For a language to take off, it badly needs a very good (ideally "official") development experience, such as a custom eclipse impl, or a very good IntelliJ plugin. When a dev experience comes with batteries included it lowers the treshold substantially from just "use whatever text editor you like and compile on command line, here is a readme".
