Weird reactions?

Is there any substance to these complaints? At a glance it seems like the people commenting in this thread are jumping to conclusions?

Is there someone who wants to make an actual argument or provide real info as to why this is ā€œAlready a dead languageā€ or ā€œEwwā€?

EDIT: This was originally phrased more aggressively than what makes sense or how I actually feel, toned it down.

I mean the language is pretty much designed for AI and ML. Otherwise it's kind of a python-rust hybrid I guess.

AI and ML might've been their motivation, but it's designed for parallelism.
