It's heading in exactly that direction. In fact we specifically want to start using Starlark for module declaration (mind -- optionally. It's still all declarative JSON API at the bottom! APIs FTW!).
We're also going full hermetic and aiming for reproducible-by-default. Those should be "duh" things in modern world. The comparisons with the good parts of Nix should be obvious.

The starlark-adjacent parts are still (very) early, but you'll find some notes about the intention in our Notion already: https://www.notion.so/warpforge/Data-Execution-and-Formulas-...
Get in touch if you'd like to collaborate, we'd be thrilled to have more company working on it, or starting to package things!
