I really like the goals of your language. I'm an old c++/assembly programmer from way back, and today's heavily layered languages with non deterministic performance are disappointing to me. I like that Deca will never use GC or a virtual machine, never require a run-time library or an OS. But to answer your question, the best way to monetize a new programming language is to stop working on it and do something more likely to have an impact on the world. You seem like a super smart talented guy. Don't worry about sunk costs. I'd be happy to brainstorm with you, sutter at gmail. I'd also be happy to discuss the many years of your life that could be eaten up trying to get a new language adopted. The most likely outcomes are (a) to choose the right category and fail to get traction, or (b) choose the wrong category and fail to get traction.
