Nice. I wish it well. Sadly, it has one feature I hate from PHP (the ability to interweave PHP and HTML, instead of using the HTML as a template or generating it in code) and lacks one feature I absolutely need, which is all the code I've already written in PHP and can require_once and reuse whenever I want to start a new project.

But I hate PHP, even though it's the main thing I use now. So I want this to succeed. Good luck!

Which is arguably the one reason for PHP's popularity.

Definitely - but then, McDonalds Big Macs are more popular than hamburgers with beetroot and pineapple on them, and my tastes are again at odds with the mainstream. I can't help it - I'm a geek hipster (and a burger snob).
