The project is an exception to every single other open source project imo.

And the reason is that they build every single thing from scratch. Not a single external dependency.

So I would argue, the community is already prepped for this and a new programming language would fit like a glove.

You took the words out of my mouth. I'm very curious to see where this language goes. It's a big project, but so is an OS, and they're doing just fine there. Even if SerenityOS or Jakt are never a household name, they're remarkably valuable in terms of seeing how people would do this, the things they think of, and how this community interacts and grows their project. SerenityOS is just as valuable socially as it is computationally.
