Why re-invent languages! How many times it simply better to use something that is already proven to work. But maybe this time it is worth it as I do not know much about their idea except the big lines.

You need a formalized set of grammar when you’re designing a contract language. They’re hardly inventing a new language, more like they are designing a VM and borrowing existing language constructs to program it.
Which was kind of my point earlier: If they moved away from this silly limiting stack based VM design anyone could implement this using whatever VM an implementor wanted to.

The same way any other blockchain does: Prunable outputs, and Moore’s law.
