Not planning on using OpenCL for your projects going forward.

Seriously, if you aren't learning OpenCL, you're going to be obsolete if you're a low-level C/C++ programmer, game programmer, AI programmer, etc.

Yeah, but if you impose that restriction on the language one will be able to feel it. I'm sure it would be useful, and well suited for the applications you listed, but it would be a niche language. Once your application is outside of the niche, the language would no longer be useful for you. You would need a more general set of features to fall back on in the back ground to make it a general purpose langauge. There has to be something that it can offer that isn't already available with plain OpenCL and a set of bindings to your favorite langauge.
