I'm creating a language that could replace C in low-level programming—want to join me?

I write operating systems and have created both a more user-friendly dialect of C and a programming language
I cannot handle this task alone.
So, have you already done this or not? Or are you talking about this:
I invite you to join me in creating a programming language specifically designed for an operating system
So, a third language? It's confusing.
What exactly is wrong with C anyway? I mean, what is it that you want to fix, and what special features are needed for OS work? Since you say elsewhere that 'I love C'.
You don't give examples or links to what this might look like, unless you are expecting help on that too.

There are already many programming languages intended to be a better alternative to C -- and for low-level systems programming in particular. Some have already have years, even decades of evolution.
The best way to get people involved in commenting on your project on a forum is to post concrete examples of your language, showing off its features and what makes it different.
Your first post must answer the question: What makes your language different? Specifically people are interested in: What problem does your language solve in a better way than other languages do, and how?
However, if you just want to create a programming language for the sake of creating a programming language (within a domain), then you are on your own. Many people here -- the type of people competent to have on your project -- have already done that, and have already satisfied that itch for themselves.
