Haven't been keeping up with Harelang nowadays, but it started off interestingly since it was simple and used QBE instead of LLVM for codegen.
Ended up parting ways with it since it intentionally didn't support threading or closed sourced systems (meaning no Windows).

I imagine that other anons here would agree with some of his ideas, but are repelled by his personality as well.
For example, in his recent "AI in Linux" blog post, he explains why a Linux fork is impossible:
>[...] Linus is surely aware that, for all practical purposes, Linux cannot be forked.
>It is the world’s largest software project, and one of the most well-funded, too.
>The institutional knowledge among its contributors, the prospect of keeping up with the blistering pace of change, or even putting together a group of people with the time and funding to understand and maintain even a fraction of the kernel’s code independently of upstream, is, quite simply, intractable.
He's right, though I disagree with some of his reasons for doing it.
