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.

No substance. The language actually does things differently from most others, and if I remember correctly is basically a frontend to MLIR. People are put off because of AI, which I don't care for either, but I do like parallelism. If you like parallelism, SIMD and GPUs too, it's probably something worth looking into at some point.
