This doesn’t strike me as a very serious attempt to predict the future and design a programming language based on that prediction
I don't think it is trying to predict, it is purpose built to be the Unreal engine scripting language. I hate the word metaverse, but it will be a highly relevant, important language to online multiplayer worlds as soon as it is released (as soon as a month from now).
The implication of the argument that the above comment was responding to was that the design of the language was driven by predictions for what the metaverse would be like and what that would imply about the needs of a programming language. I agree that the OP doesn’t seem to really try to predict that. I’m sceptical that a language like this will catch on in Unreal but maybe if that is the motivating use-case it will drive some interesting and practical language features. Will have to wait and see.
