However, it is still a new programming language. As well as golang. This has its pros and cons.

However, in cases where people say that some language is bad, it means that it simply does not fit their tasks.

I disagree. It is possible for a language to simply be a bad language. Intercal is intentionally so. I will refrain from mentioning unintentionally bad languages in order to avoid a flame war.

If the task is to show everyone their own steepness, then isotheric languages are a good choice. Isn't it? If people did not confuse causes and consequences, it would be more boring to live without sacred wars. It is not correct to call a language bad. But it is correct to call a language not suitable for a specific task.

In fact, the flame wars can also be useful as an advertisement.

Nobody would have accused Brainfuck of being a good language but it turns out that its radical simplicity works well for integrating with optimization algorithms for creating self-programming AIs. It's all about a niche, except INTERCAL, you're right about INTERCAL.

The biggest pro being the ability to develop with hindsight of every other language ever created

I don't know, I doubt anyone would call malbogue a good language. I mean, it achieves its design goals, but that doesn't make it good.
