Whoa, this is pretty cool. People have been trying to do this for ages. If they've been analyzing how people code, they have some valuable data to develop from. I hope they make it!
I once made a programming language with a tree editor: https://youtu.be/w5-g0Hps6bA
I had anyfix operators, so it was possible to write a program that read like english. In fact, I once got someone to write the sqrt function (inspired by the SICP) in Japanese: https://youtu.be/vwgvVpCRecE
I think this is really promising to introduce people to programming. How many times have you heard someone say "programming is so frustrating! I always misplace my semicolon." Also, not having syntax means that people can use DSLs without having the pain to learn its syntax.
