Thanks!

So there aren't any GUI controls, buttons, input fields, &c.?

Would there be a way to add those in the future?

I'm really fond of Oberon (printed out the entire manual and read it over multiple times when I was younger and probably still have it somewhere), and Lua has worked well for me in lualatex: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/723897/breaking-out-... so this seems like it could potentially be a good fit.

My next project is working up a programmable drawing program and I'm still trying to find the perfect language and GUI toolkit....

No.

Yes, but only for making TUIs.

Ah, okay. I'll keep looking.

Great project! If you ever change your mind, and add GUI components, I think that would be huge.
