I look at new programming languages as experiments: the important point isn't to create something wonderful, but to either prove or disprove the practicality of things. Personally, I have little interest in experimenting but I am interested in reading about the results when people do. Thus I find it valuable when people try new things. Actually, I definitely applaud people trying things by creating something new instead of making stuff up and then ramming it into an existing popular language where if it doesn't work out we are all stuck with garbage for evermore. If things don't work out for a new language, it dies, no one remembers and there is little lasting harm, but if it does something awesome and it shows it is awesome, those pieces can be cherry-picked into the popular languages.
