You seem to be itemizing complaints that come to your mind, but I don't
see how all of them are responding to the question you quoted, of "how
is it that such Wonderland is not discovered by much more people?"
For example, this sounds like you're arguing against high-level
languages in general, including languages like Java, which has been
discovered by everyone: "... It's abstract, optimized at runtime,
inscrutable, not what you think it is, rewritten, transformed magic? Uh
huh, I'm just gonna go call a function in C thanks."
In language forums, people have mixed feelings about posts that are a
laundry list of complaints. Some complaints may be valid, some unclear,
some just needing a quick pointer, some gravely mistaken-- but even when
the forum breaks out each point for one-by-one discussion, it can turn
into a pile of posts that people can't digest. So then I think the
people who have the least context for digestion (e.g., newest candidate
adopters) often register the pile as a vague net-negative, which is
really too bad.
Someone more industrious than me might later today try to address the
complaints one-by-one (this tends to happen), but please give them a
while on this date. A master of parentheses is a master of the sensual,
and so probably very tired on the morning after Valentine's Day.
