Con
Aruguably no better than a meme language

The elitest attitudes in the community are unwarrented. Not recommendable for production use. Poor error messages, odd compiler errors, poorly documented behavior, etc..

Con
Small community

In regards to its age and already past 1.0, the community is still too small.
