What would this language look like, and what features would it have?
Wait... I was going to cobble up something together with CGI, but then recalled that a) I did that already for a small internal project previous company† and b) mod_ruby is still a thing! I may still give it a shot just for kicks.

† CGI was good enough because it did not need that much perf, so I never needed to go FCGI/mod_ruby. Instead of FTP deployment was done via `git push` to a bare repo + server side post-receive git hook to checkout and atomically replace files (I was kinda mimicking Heroku there)
