I'm definitely not the target audience for this, but I can't help wonder: Why introduce a new turing-complete language, instead of building on top of an existing language suitable for "gluing things together"? Python and Lua come to my mind.

The use-case for SOUL is about as far from a "glue" language as you can get!

It's a language for writing the absolute lowest-level, close-to-the-metal, bit-twiddling realtime code which you'd then glue together using a higher-level language like C++, javascript, python, lua, etc.
