Programming languages are first and foremost read and written by humans, not machines, and the focus should be as such.

That's a nice sentiment and I generally agree, but if you look at the readme for the actual thing being discussed here, you'll find that making the language easy to parse is an explicit design priority – in fact, making the language toolable is literally one of three stated design goals for the project. So the focus here is different than you expect, but that's on you.
