Are users more tolerant of a slow programming language if it has good multithreading or green threads? I'd be willing to use a PL with good ergonomics that runs at 0.5x speed if it's easy to saturate multiple threads. (PLs focusing on single-threaded performance are common!)

Too many languages introduce themselves as e.g. "Foo is a statically typed functional language", focusing on the basic characteristics. I'd rather learn why Foo is special. What is Foo great for? Get me excited about what I could do with it!

I'm a fan of simple issue trackers. A description, comments, and maybe a small integration with something. Given this, perhaps it makes sense to build your own? You get a bespoke solution, and focusing on your main project prevents feature creep.
