I agree at first glance you could see how it would seem to be a waste of time, but I think you underestimate how big of a foothold PHP has for building websites and applications. There are A LOT of php developers. Ease of deployment with PHP, and the run anywhere on any shred hosting service really is a game changer for people learning how to code on the web. I think this project has the ability to build a language that could hide allot of the things developers do not enjoy about PHP while still keeping the huge platform already existing for cheap hosting and integrating with existing code bases.
