As a working biological data scientist... This is useless until a tool I need, which I can't get anywhere else, is written in it.
My suggestion would be to rewrite some of the most popular tools, like bwa, in this language, and show the comparative performance etc.
Then, write a comprehensive open source package with great documentation and maintenance in this language, to demonstrate to others your investment.
Then, maybe, it will get some traction. But honestly, C, R and Java are so embedded it will be a hard road.
