Oddly enough, being a superior language isn't the same thing as being a language anyone actually wants to use. There's a reason Python and JS are some of the most popular languages in the world despite "superior languages" existing.
I suspect that most of the ones I name will join the bone pile of the many other "superior languages" or continue to be used at most by a niche few.

something else will come along that's even more superior, and the tooling surrounding your once-superior codebases will bitrot as the community jumps onto the next passing ship and you're caught holding the bag.

Betamax and HDDVD were superior too.
ClojureScript and Reason are superior languages, period. They will live long happy lives, too.
