I'm just now discovering Koka. I'm kinda blown away.
I'm also a little sad at this defeatist attitude. What you said might be true, but those things are solvable problems. Just requires a coordinated force of will from a few dedicated individuals.
There is a team of dedicated people working on Koka. They say the language isn’t production ready, and they don’t seem to be rushing. But I don’t think they’d bother with VSCode/IDE support if they didn’t feel like they were getting close.
