had *something* to show people when we asked for help. It's one thing to
have a grandiose idea; it's another to execute on said idea.
but the proof does me no good because I can't read it (nor your mind).

Would it be so hard to write the proof down for the rest of us? That might
convince a few more people that you are on to something.
I can only speak for me, but why would I join an empty project? I have

plenty of empty grandiose projects of my own to work on, and one or two
not-so-empty grandiose projects.
You keep saying that MICL is this wonderful project, but even if I wanted
to help, what now? Do you have any design plans that are more specific than
"MICL can imitate other shells"?
A past project I worked on, Gnugol [1], started with *something* that
could be worked with, feedback could be given, requirements hashed out,
designed argued about. It wasn't just David Taht going "Hey everybody!
Let's make a command line search client!"
Write the damn code! Don't expect people to write your project for you

(that's called "work" and people get "paid" to do this). Get something that
people can look at. And if the "minimum viable product" can be done in two
weeks, DO IT! You! You need to do the "minimum viable product" and show
it.
You need to give us something more than just "it'll be great!"
