Michael, I suggest this:
1. Don't spend any huge money on this project until it picks up significantly.
2. treat this as a hobby, which means don't lose sleep over it.
3. focus on your work that makes money if money is a factor
4. take it easy. leave the company as it is.
5. try to make this not be written in LISP. that is a lot of lines of code. convert it.
6. Keep everything going the same time. don't quit your job.
Wow, this is horrible advice.
1. You have to take risks sometimes. He's done good work and it's worth putting some cash behind it (if necessary).
2. It's not a hobby. It's a business or a research project. In either case, it's a serious thing.
3. This project could be a money-maker in two ways: corporate sponsors for a research project, or corporate clients for a business product.
4. I agree with the take it easy part, but not the other part.
