Very nice project, I'm a big fan of implementing Wirthian languages to learn compilers.

Also, in true Wirth style, the documentation mainly consists of the language grammar :)

The project is not even 24 hours old...

And I might plan on making this a recorded series of explaining how to make compilers from scratch with this language as a reference.

Of course! It wasn't really a criticism, just a cheeky observation that the documentation for every Wirth-style language I've ever seen begins with the EBNF grammar. Though it's rare for a new language to do that today, I appreciate you continuing the tradition.

It's a bit more than just the grammar, but I agree it's generally underspecified.
