What is with that horrible music in his promo video?
That 80s sound is back in force at the moment (under the "synthwave" moniker). Think Stranger Things OST.
Also, this one fits the Windows 3 nostalgia theme nicely (okay, not quite 90s music but still retro)

If you have connections in Embarcadero/Idera Software, now is the time to convince them to release Delphi 1 as freeware.

While you wait for Delphi 1, note that you can already obtain Microsoft's 16-bit Visual C++ compiler and linker at no cost (the same does not apply to 16-bit Visual Basic) and that Open Watcom has been released under an OSI-approved, if weird, license. This tutorial goes into more details: http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/computing/win16-apps-in-c/.
This is an awesome project. I highly recommend reading through his series on Medium (eg https://medium.com/@CantabileApp/implementing-window-messagi... ) That being said, I think he is overestimating the market that would pay for this. This seems like it could attract at least a small community as an open source project, however. Unfortunately effort in development is not always rewarded with monetary gain. Perhaps h…
Also, Wine already exists. If Wine is ported to run on Windows, this project is redundant, I'd assume? (In fact, it strikes me now that if you're on Windows 10, you could probably run Wine on the WSL.)

Wine already does run on Windows (not well), no WSL needed. Some users already use it to play old games that only run on Win 98 for example.
(Are you referring to the use of software like Colinux and Andlinux? Those only worked on 32-bit systems last time I checked...)

Here's an admittedly very old article by Dan Kegel on how to compile it on Windows: http://www.kegel.com/wine/wow.html
But yeah, I don't think it's explicitly supported since it's not their target market :) Codeweavers' focus is running Windows apps on Mac and Linux (Crossover - go support them! https://www.codeweavers.com/)
Edit: It looks like they completely dropped support for it as I can't find any of the old articles anymore; Seems it only supports mingw setup now. https://wiki.winehq.org/Cygwin_and_More
