Not enough publicity, to my mind.
Rust is popular because Mozilla, a well-known company, is developing it for a well-known major project, a web browser.
Go is well-known due to Google, and the fact that many people with an opinion-setting power know who Rob Pike is.
Haskell, well, just spent 20 years being around, sometimes in university curricula.
ATS is only, it seems, known to people who are specifically interested in formally-correct low-level code, on the sparsely-populated intersection of math and hardware geekery.
