One of the best ways for a developer to plead their case for using their language, is to have a book written about it. That's where to teach people how to use the language, show in code the advantages of using it, and elaborate in detail why its a better language.
If the language doesn't at least have a book written on it, then it can be argued it's way too early to take the language seriously. Some of the reasons why the language has not reached the stage to be written about: still too unstable, few followers, or still making a lot of breaking changes. Other reasons, like laziness or arrogance, are equally not good.
Some of these new hyped languages like Odin, C3, hare, beef, pony, etc... They get a lot of continuous attention on here and specific other places, but then when we go to find out more about them, there is little of real substance. Their GitHub has few stars, few contributors, no Wikipedia page, not a thing about them on Amazon, etc...
At least start with step 1. Where is the book on this programming language? Would be nice to be able to actually read or see more than just a blog entry or an ad.
