I think that's understandable, in spite of being a young niche/language the community oversells it continuously on larger communities (like HN) but it is that much polished. The promise: pythonic, cross compilable, fast solution for everything with readable macros.

And in my opinion it is not like that, see my comment on the top level.

You're right: there are a lot of bugs and this should be improved!

However, some of those are subjective opinions: a lot of people do see it as pythonic in syntax, even not if pythonic in other decisions. It is cross compilable and fast and one can write readable macros and create readable DSL-s with it.

All other similar languages have even bigger issue counts: this is a shallow metric to base a conclusion on.
