Yeah, the "novel" bit is about integrating all those aspects into one language.
And trust me, such a language that captures enough mindshare is absolutely needed. People thought Rust was going to be it, but it got taken over by the idea of it being the next C++.
IF LLMs are what you make them out to be, it shouldn't have been long before we saw serious attempts at such languages, but I suspect LLMs are of barely any help here beyond some basic implementation tasks.

But do you think GP, who I initially wrote that comment to, would agree with that? All those features and integrations have examples in the FOSS world already, wouldn't the LLM just use what it learned from that?

Disagree, as mentioned I've already managed to get together my own language that works for my purposes, and they did more than just "basic implementation tasks" although of course I've been reviewing and deciding stuff, no vibe coding here.
