I don't use it yet, either. Why are you trying to make it sound like a new language needs instant adoption, or it's dead for all time? It's not going to expire if it takes a few years.
There are two programming languages that I learned in their first 5 years. They both ended up being languages I dislike. A language that takes time to mature and isn't the pop language of the week sounds terrific to me.
Good languages stay in use for decades. If I miss the first 5-10 years of a new programming language, either I'll skip its turbulent youth and still be around for most of its life, or it'll turn out to have been a flash-in-the-pan language and I'll have missed nothing.
