I'm not convinced. The authors cite sources of complexity that are mostly domain-specific artifacts of web development, yet make pretty broad claims about a fundamental advancement in language design. Maybe the authors have some insight about these pain points, but it certainly doesn't seem necessary to create a whole new language to solve them, especially as frameworks such as gRPC have already (at least partially) solved one of these supposed fundamental issues without replacing the base programming language.

#4Personally I’d be surprised if this startup is around in five years

#6In high school, I think I worked for a company that has prior art on deployless software. We wrote php and perl directly on the prod server with vi through putty. No deploy necessary!
What's old is new again I guess.

I am not convinced either. Getting a language off the ground is a 10 year affair, don't think its possible for a funded company to bring up a new language unless they are targeting some niche where full scale programmability is not a requirement.

#10I now almost nothing about Dark, but I don't understand why it is necessary to do this with a new language and a new editor.
