Creating programming language for the sake of creating programming language is not too smart or useful thing.

Have a real problem to solve first please.

If the main goal is to be popular go instead and be a movie star or a singer. Or if too old for that then be the President of the United States.

Doing something just for the fun of it is enough.

The premise is here creating a popular (i.e. for everyone, used broadly) language, not how to spend the boring Saturday evenings.
