We live in a times when Apple open-sourced Swift and even IBM are keen to use it now. Even for Apple the Swift language is not a revenue generator. Only large corporations are willing to pay for compilers, etc but they want oodles of training, support, consulting, etc. And ... you have to be a Big Corp to be worthy of their business. Perhaps, I'm tainted by conventional wisdom, but none of the languages referenced by @notsrademons has made its creators rich. Sure, they have good jobs and some get paid to speak at conferences and for consulting. BUT ... you might be the one to break the mold. If your only motivation is to make money, then don't bother. If you truly believe in your "change the world" concept and you are prepared to hustle to see your vision succeed then Just Do It ! GOOD LUCK !
