It's still very domain-oriented:
> I solve and write a lot of puzzlehunts, and I wanted a better programming language to use to search word lists for words satisfying unusual constraints, such as, “Find all ten-letter words that contain each of the letters A, B, and C exactly once and that have the ninth letter K.”1 I have a folder of ten-line scripts of this kind, mostly Python, and I thought there was surely a better way to do this.
I'll chose to remember it was designed for AoC :-D
Yes (or so I thought too!), but apparently no: https://blog.vero.site/post/noulith
(post title: "Designing a Programming Language to Speedrun Advent of Code", but starts off "The title is clickbait. I did not design and implement a programming language for the sole or even primary purpose of leaderboarding on Advent of Code. It just turned out that the programming language I was working on fit the task remarkably well.")
