Yes, there are a few aborted attempts.

The problem with all languages that decide to implement their own runtime, instead of building it on top of JVM or .NET eco-systems is that their native code generation and GC implementation are always going to be worse.

Also there is the issue of having to implement the whole set of third party libraries from scratch, just like PyPy and JRuby have issues using libraries that rely on CPython or Ruby FFI.

So unless you get a set of developers really committed to go through the efforts of making it succeed, everyone will ignore it.
