Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030

Hi,

I'm a programmer with a bunch of years in IT and currently I'm trying to build my own project that can bring me enough revenue so I can leave my full-time job and focus on my projects only and eventually start my own business.

The main struggle right now is that I have too little time to work on my projects (around 3 hours per week) and I estimate it will take me at least 2 more years to start earning anything (not talking about real money so I can leave my full time job). I don't want to create any sort of scam just to grab some cash, but building a real complex software is a time consuming process, not speaking about that I must handle other stuff than programming (which I enjoy but this means I have even more work to do).

I'm wondering if anybody can give me any advice how to speed up that process or where I can get money to be able to focus on my ideas full time? Or maybe somebody tried to do the same and failed and can share what lessons they learned from their mistakes?

I'm looking for a real solutions, so please cut out generic advices like "just keep working" or "just find an angel investor". I understand that starting your own business is hard and requires to take a risk, but I'm looking for practical advices and not advices based on luck or having a huge start capital.

Thanks

For the last year, I've been working on a query language that aims to replace SQL and data frame libraries. It's continuation of my work on PRQL and EdgeQL.

Now I need feedback on usability, ergonomics and overall design. Read trough the examples, check out the CLI & tell me what could be better.

The worst kind of accidental complexity in software is the unnecessary distribution, replication, or restructuring of state, both in space and time.
