No but a relative of a friend went blind in one eye. There used to be a big Facebook group where people shared their negative stories like this, I'm sure you can find similar subreddits/FB groups/whatever. Not everyone goes blind obviously, but some side effects are really, really bad and you can't fix them by simply wearing something like glasses so they're going to stay around forever if you get them. After all, the eyes are probably the most delicate part of the human body.
I'd say it's too risky, possible side effects are much worse than having to wear glasses when you're reading etc. Glasses are just fine.
Not really. For example, a language that has no grammatical gender is inarguably easier to learn than a one that has.
Rob Pike did. Acme is absurdly simple yet absurdly powerful. Because everything is text and any piece of text is executable. Combined with the plumber[0] it beats every other approach to extensibility that I've seen. You can have any "IDE-ish feature" with a plumber rule. And you don't lose simplicity.
> Emacs is probably the simplest language-agnostic IDE.
No. See above.

Jokes (not really) aside, why does an IDE need to be designed for a language anyway?
Launch as soon as you can. If you've built the MVP by yourself or with the team you've already got, don't look for funding to turn it into a more 'solid' product and just launch right now. If your product clearly solves a real problem that real people have, you shouldn't feel lost, I mean eliminating pain in people's lives is great. Also go talk to people who might be your potential users.
