Why start from total scratch when the logical and better alternative is over 50% complete? ie. the compiler and language already in place & 3D engine project already started.
According to his worklogs he is not starting from scratch and it is much more logical to build the engine as a lib. That way he can target much more customers than with the B3D version only. And he does have an excellent compiler in the form of BMax for those who want to stay within the BRL realm.
I will, for example, try to use the new lib with C# and EBasic languages.
