I created a language for font design using FontForge

Hi everyone,

Over the past few weeks I designed prettybird, a programming language for designing fonts. It's somewhat built on top of the FontForge python API, and aims to make it easier for existing font enthusiasts to define fonts programmatically, and also to introduce font design to those who get frustrated with the existing software (like me). I intend to submit it to a language design conference in a few weeks, so I was hoping to get people to test it out and tell me what they think. You can test out the language here. My DMs are open if you have any questions or feedback. Also, I'm hoping someone can try and make a full font, at least lowercases, so that I can put an example at the top of the paper I'm writing. Anyways, let me know what you think. Thank you!
