> Does the discussion happen in a public place? If yes I'd be extremely happy to join in since I also got started with making my own system around a month ago, and it feels a bit lonely going on such an endeavor at times.

I'm happy to discuss anything in the GitHub discussions for UVM: https://github.com/maximecb/uvm/discussions

If you're building a system for fun, or to explore new ideas, then it seems fine to make it as esoteric as you want. However, in my experience, making esoteric choices when designing programming languages for instance, can really alienate potential users. Especially if you could have obviously gone with some more traditional and familiar choices but you went with something more esoteric that doesn't have any clear value added.

IMO it's a bit like when it comes to terminology. If there's a commonly accepted way to refer to something, use it. Don't make up your own nomenclature, you'll just create extra confusion for no reason.
