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've used tools from JetBrains before. IMO, it should be easy for both vim and emacs to catch up to tools like JetBrains, Xamarin and such. All they need are a couple extensions to artificially boost memory footprint and introduce big startup and various UI delays. And done: instant parity with the popular IDE's. Should be easy enough to write.
