(Author here) Yeah - the design requirements of the language were for it to be instantly understandable by anyone who's done a bit of coding before, whilst enforcing the graph/node/safety architecture that's needed for it to be portable to heterogenous CPUs/DSPs. Looking exactly like C++/Java/Javascript/C# isn't an accident!

And yep, some existing DSPs can be tight on memory, but it's a chicken-and-egg situation - unless people want to run complex synths on them, there's no incentive for the manufacturers to put more memory on there! If we're successful with this, we'd hope that it'll start to create a market for DSPs which DO have the oompf you need for that kind of thing.
