Actually the more you make these claims the more I think you are 
suffering from NIH (Not Invented Here) syndrome.

there is another poster on the F1 group who initially made comments along 
the lines "Maybe Ferrari should employ me" at first they were taken as 
tongue in cheek until it became apparent he actually believed them.

without any significant user base for any of your invented Languages I 
would suggest they are nothing more than toys* & instead of thinking "my 
designs are much better" you would be better to use the approach "that's 
not how I would have done it what, do they know that I am missing"    


* to be fare even a toy language is beyond my own meagre abilities.
