Typical MIT press release balognia; their publicist really should get a job in industry and stop misleading the scientific community.
What they really mean is "new probabilistic graphical model language." Yet another BUGS/JAGS/Stan like system.

"New AI programming language goes beyond deep learning General-purpose language works for computer vision, robotics, statistics, and more" https://news.mit.edu/2019/ai-programming-gen-0626
I'm pretty sure most sane people agree this is a giant pile of meaningless marketing horse pookey, which is par for the course with MIT these days. That's what I was responding to. And characterizing it as "like stan" is a lot closer to descriptive than anything in that article. I picture whoever writes this stuff for MIT as wearing tap out t-shirts with neck tattoos.
