Could be interesting for some companies, but I'm rather skeptic:

I was working in this project for about 6 months. At this moment there is a working IDE and compiler. But both are very feature limited. I am preparing a Kickstarter campaing for getting enough resources for continue and speed up the development.

It looks like no code is available yet, and given the pretty huge scope of what he aims to do there's a good chance it's a Kickstarter scam, or that in any case it will never reach completion.

Also,

Sure, there is VB.NET, but [...] You will loose the native performance.

does not bode well (performance has not been a problem in .NET for a long while)

I'm also skeptical, but found it interesting enough / was intrigued enough to share it here. As it also doesn't seem like it will be open source (or, more usefully: cross platform) it seems like just trading one proprietary implementation for another albeit supported one
