I like your idea for an OS/language. I like your thoughts for the payment models. The problem of payment is something that the open source movement has not solved yet.
EDIT: I remember reading about a theoretical OS called PILOT, it used single character commands and was written up in course notes for a computer science class.
Found you through a comment on Youtube threatening to substack about a iAPX 432 architecture :-)
I used to code Pascal at uni then assembler on micros (Microchip PICs) and then moved to C and stagnated. I have plans to start coding on Arduino or R-Pi and Reprap may be the channel.
In your project once you find a problem that it solves you should be able to get a adequate user base. linux is fringe except it is not, it gets used by almost every internet server farm and millions of embedded devices. Find the use case that needs your OS and it will happen.
The obscure language I use more than anything besides browser and editor is the physically-typed JVM language Frink, free as in beer and entirely the work of Alan Eliasen. Not only useful as a physics and obscure-unit desk calculator, the default arbitrary-precision rational number format, fast math functions such as factoring, optional functional programming, nice data structures, and most of all just the coherence of being a tool that one man with good taste built for his own needs make it a pleasure to use. All the documentation is on one page:

Few people are rethinking the fundamentals of programmiing and computation, here's one:
