I don't understand why upcoming programming languages completely ignore the IDE experience or at most throw some basic code completion (which works half of the time) and syntax highlighting at you (not even semantic highlighting).

I'll take a "limited" language with excellent IDE support over a "powerful" language that you use notepad with.

I'd argue that Kotlin is still a "Upcomming programming languages" - and I think one of its reasons for success is how well integrated it is into the IDE. (especially if you use intelliJ)

The same applies for other tooling as well; one of the reasons why go is so popular.
