    I don't think language developers are interested in making
    such a language in general...

:P

I'd argue go came from a desire to have a language that was completely uninteresting in terms of 'interesting ideas', and really just exists to Get Stuff Done.

I think more people are interested in that sort of thing than you imagine. Clearly.

Jai is designed on a bunch of false assumptions, which makes it hard to get excited about.

Or more precisely, the designer of Jai uses C++ as "C with classes" and then goes from that, which isn't fair. He also misrepresented a few things in regards to Rust, which he doesn't even know, but comments on etc. etc.
