Even I (as a sort of grudging cynic) now find myself thinking in these terms:

Is this a language that an LLM can write well?

Especially a small LLM, given the scripting and friendly IoT focus, where it might be useful for a smaller model in a home assistant to be able to write in it.

A packageable scripting language with fewer footguns that has LLM-friendly features feels like it probably has a place in the world.

But my own experience so far suggests that smaller LLMs in particular do better with simpler languages with obvious flow of control and less cleverness like metaprogramming.
