Have you given any thought to this being used in place of pseudocode in white papers? If the language is much easier to translate problem into code, it is probably good at conveying ideas for documentation or teaching. My naive assumption is that would be a more useful focus than IDE tooling.

That's an interesting idea, but I think it wouldn't be a great fit. Reason being that, in the interest of speed, the language will need to include some irregular or unintuitive syntax and idioms. It goes without saying that pseudocode shouldn't require a manual!
