I mean, Rust does exactly what you were just describing.

Consider the possibility that you may be unique in the world in
possessing the combination of requirements and aesthetic
judgement that makes you feel you need a language like yours.

As for new languages, there are a number of reasons.  Most of
them are not particularly relevant here.

At this point, you may consider doing what Keith suggested, and
moving further discussion of your language to comp.lang.misc.
Here, I'll start by cross-posting to that group for you.
