You're asking three questions:

1. What is wrong with the language syntax?

2. What is wrong with the implementation?

3. What is wrong with the community (other people's code, libraries, packaging, docs)?

Question 1 would lead to a pretty boring discussion, dominated by third-year CS students and fanboys of esoteric languages. Question 2 is almost as bad as question 1.

I didn't ask any three questions, you did!

If you're game for watching Go, Erlang, Rust, Clojure, and Hakell fans pontificate about languge theory all the way to the right side of your screen, be my guest. Enjoy your Saturday night.
