Going to try to address the whole problem here, not just the trying to invent a new language:

> Adding nootropics and stimulants, like the original Soylent guy did, is also interesting. However, to avoid complicating things, I will add this later. I don’t really know which substances, but at least ginkgo biloba.

I think you are taking on too much risk in order to get attention. Your grumpyness might be a result of some other health condition like sleep apnea that you need to take care of before taking on a radical diet that will leave you sick and more overweight. Take the time you would have spent working on Glow instead working on an existing up-and-coming language like Go. And, good luck. I know what its like to feel like you will try anything to fix your life and get relevant. But inventing a new language is not where its at. Tom Hickey who is one of the smartest people I know and one of the best presenters I've seen can't even convince most to use Clojure. It isn't easy.
