Yeah, Verse also confuses me as an onlooker. Good to know that people that are closer to it share that impression.

As a language nerd, I find some of the concepts interesting, though pervasive use of failure has been tried in Icon and didn't work out well.

I am really struggling to see how

a) the weird bits lead to concrete improvements in actual programming practice

b) that translates to "scripting" usage.

But yeah: it'll be interesting, however it turns out.
