It's a clever approach. Developers love to jump on new languages.

They do, this is why I would never bring a consultant on board who suggests a new language could solve the problems. Everybody loves it but after the easy 90% are done I am stuck with a niche language.
Thus, I am not sure that this marketing does not backfire.

That is often true that one of the consultant I had could focus on solving some gaps and the overhead is too high.
One of the primary reasons, we need a general purpose programming language focused on both "better developer experience" and "flexibility" that would cover almost all ecosystems.
