Per another article, the editor doesn’t even allow syntax errors. Seems like they have a tight pipeline built around AST manipulation, which is actually novel. I’m not sure I understand why that took a new language though.

Disallowing some side-effects? Ensuring all valid code follows their rules? Avoiding being dragged along by other languages authors’ changes? Something to do with the deployment pipeline, which implies a runtime requirement?
