agree with all of this. Though i'd say: since the language is mostly read by humans rather than written, in my opinion, it makes even more sense to have a language syntax that actually matches intent. In the case of Machine Learning, it's mostly connecting functions together and acting on them, which matches functional syntax. LLMs are also already very effective at writing ML-inspired syntax (like ocaml or f#) as they have plenty of data to train on, making llms effective from day one if a similar syntax was chosen.
