Language is just language. It's syntax and libraries and data and algorithms.
I've been doing this a while, and I've been around the IDE bush, and the editor Bush and so on lots of times.
There are many disadvantages to using things that will never be popular, that are niche, but lack of joy is not one of them.
For me it's not in some shiny new language, or toolset, or whatever. The joy is in what you create, not the tooling. It's in creating solutions that make people's lives better. It's in putting good on the family table. It's in employing others and watch them do the same.
The things you talk about are language agnostic. What doesn't exist, we create.
