I guess it's not niche anymore (was it ever?) but I'm coding my hobby projects in Rust. I don't get to use the language at my $dayjob but I find it aligns with my personal opinions on how a native language should be, and it pushes me in interesting ways to learn better idioms to write safe code.
Also, does it count if I'm writing a niche language as my side project? :-) Check out EndBASIC (https://www.endbasic.dev/ https://www.endbasic.dev/) if curious.
