The core ideas are kind of interesting, but in my experience where cool new language ideas come apart at the seams is when they are built out to completeness with libraries, packaging, configuration management and the rest.

So there is nothing solid there yet and thus significant risk that like many other languages this offering will suffer metastasis, bloat, and conflicts as it grows to be useful for solving real problems.
Oh yeah, I completely agree. To a certain extent it's best to be risk averse with things like this, especially when working on professional problems.
npm has spoiled me, so I doubt I'll ever try to use a language in anything other than a hobby capacity without a very good package manager and corresponding community of functionality.
