+let's keep in mind that despite the current situation with Nasal, many core developers are already concerned that scripting is being used too widely - regardless of Nasal being de-facto under-documented, and hardly maintained - this situation would only get worse once/if a real mainstream language is supported.
+In summary, it's not like Nasal's syntax is esoteric in any way - it is far more standard than Fortran, Forth, LISP or Scheme - despite those being definitely "more mainstream" than Nasal - and it being close enough to C, C++ and GLSL, also means that people doing FlightGear scripting get a feeling for the syntax that will come in handy later, when looking at other, non-nasal, FlightGear source code.|url    =  https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?p=296259#p296259
