This critique reminds me of Dart: A better JavaScript, that wasn't better-enough to be worth the transition.
I have the same concerns about the proposed language. Yes it's better, but is that enough? What's going to drive adoption?
Dart was better enough, as evidenced by the recent uptick of Typescript. Had it been released in 2019, I could envision a different story.
