I’d say it’s true, but the LLMs and humans don’t have the exact same definition of what “obscure” is.

Karel is almost a subset of Pascal with some keyword swaps. And there’s a LOT of Pascal (and similar languages) around.

From the PoV of a statistical based tool like an LLM, Karel is just another flavor of a very popular structure.
