Either he is serious or he is pulling off a convincing act of being serious. He posted it earlier to reddit and has been defending it there.
If he is serious, well, he's discovered a good idea already implemented in other languages. If he can pull it off better in some way, then he might invent a language that will be used.

But, I do hope he has tried a wide variety of languages, especially the terse ones. I hope he sees that a terse language with thousands of 1-line "things"--be they functions or "microprograms"--isn't necessarily easy to use and understandable.
