Besides cherry picking, I would assert Idris might have more 
users, even if it is an academic language.

As for libraries, exactly because those languages draw the line, 
it is possible to have a library ecosystem, instead of writing 
libraries that can only be used by the GC camp, the GC but please 
in RC form camp, the we only do malloc/free came, the @nogc 
camp,...

Instead a library, regardless how it is written, works for 
everyone.
