The article is light on details, but as a polyglot programmer, I encourage him.

I am an enthusiastic, but far from expert, Haskell programmer. I wonder if Brett is thinking of a more Python-like interpreted functional language?

Thank you! Imagine everything we like about Python, remove some warts, make it functional. It should feel familiar and appealing to a Python programmer.

Based on above it seems you want to test the hypothesis that 'there is a python-like functional language in the space of FP'.

Is there anything ~technical you can share beyond desires and disappointments that leads you to believe this is a reasonable hypothesis?

I've got a working interpreter and compiler for the initial language. I've had a few people take it for a spin and they were able to rapidly learn it and start contributing, despite having expressed frustration in trying FP languages in the past. All anecdotes for now!

Ah, you already have it. Now we're all intrigued! Looking forward to the public release.

I'm pretty deep in on Elixir, but I'd be quite interested to take a look.
