If it is a general purpose programming language, this should always be done.
Not necessary at the beginning, but eventually as the language gains mindshare.
It is very hard to understand the language, if all contributions to improving it are done in another language.
Somehow it is similar to being a library author without having ever written a full blown application using the library, thus being blind to what are the possible usability issues.
