If you can't even spell, how do you hope to create a language better
than Java?  

Oxymoron?  Look that up in the dictionary. 

Why NOT open source?  Check how many upturned turtle icons there are
in the Java glossary next to free software.  Without money coming in
to support it, the project dies when the original author gets bored.

Java has a standard, see the JLS see

What it lacks is an INDEPENDENT standards body. However Java is  in
much tighter shape than C++, SQL or any of the languages that DO have
a standards body.
