> I think there would be a market for a proprietary compiler and maybe an IDE to go with it

There may be a market but not large enough to pay few top notch compiler/low level system software hacker. I only know of a commercial Go IDE and constant refrain there is how will a poor third world developer afford it. Though I feel real issue is developers are raised on diet of free software feels entitled to it. Paying for good software seems alien to them.
