the language can do a lot of very expressive things, every language feature works in your favor too, but agree with you, i would not use my own language for anything production.
like this:
D ~ unif_int(1, 6);
Print("P(rolled a 6 | rolled > 3) =", P(D == 6 | D > 3));
or:
loss ~ unif(0, 1000);
claim = if loss > 200 { loss - 200 } else { 0 };
p = P(claim > 0);
Print("P(insurer pays a claim) =", p)
notice that "claim" is also a random variable! result of a if expression
