This is an interesting system that I studied closely a few years ago, along with a few others based on Lua or Python.
What surprises me enormously about all these systems is the fact that, in builds that can become enormously large and complex systems in themselves, we voluntarily forego most of the advantages we have learned over sixty years of software engineering. I am thinking, for example, of strong typing and type checking by the compiler, which then also enables better support from IDEs and analysis or visualization tools.
It's kind of like other scripting languages. For small applications, it all looks practical and efficient, but woe betide it if it becomes as big as Qt or other systems with several hundred thousand lines of code.
