Language
A short description of the language.

Is this being considered?

[RunDevelopment]

All language requests are being considered. However, implementing (and testing) new languages isn't trivial. Especially for unfamiliar languages, the research for language features alone can take the better part of a day (or longer depending on the language and the quality of its documentation).

It's not that we don't consider or don't want a language, quite the opposite. This is purely a question of manpower. So pull requests are always appreciated.
