Not every language needs to be one of those that changes the way we think about programming. It is perfectly fine to experiment on mundane languages by adding mundane features. Incremental improvement is a good thing and it is too early to just write off this because it seems to be un-interesting.
I'm sure this project was extremely interesting to the author - maybe from a different perspective than yours.

No, but neither does(should) every new language be posted and upvoted to HN.
If it's upvoted, then the HN crowd finds the language interesting. If not, then it will fade away like every other article that doesn't get votes does.
