Why don't you advertise more your language on Quora etc ?

And what is the tooling and workflow? We are now living in the post-
VIM/post-Emacs era. If there isn't a JetBrain IDE or plugin to an IDE
for a language, you are in losing territory for big take up: without an
IDE (JetBrains is just the current main example) the language is
destined to be a niche or small community one.

I will elide the rant on this to avoid being accused of being
repetitious.
