There are only 2 people who know VimL well enough - Bram and Tim Pope (OK, now it's 1). It's always better to leave language design to someone else - in the same way aeroplane manufacturers don't care about making their engines too. Languages need dedicated attention - careful design balancing power and intuitiveness, performance tuning of language runtime, documentation etc. That's why neovim's adoption of lua has been a revolution in the development of its plugin ecosystem.
