Looking at the examples, it seems like Eve is really just a DSL for performing a number of common preset interactions within the web browser.

Maybe I missed something but it doesn't seem like this is really designed for usage outside the browser environment?

As such it seems like this is really just a very high-level layer on top of JS rather than a general-purpose programming language, a lot like Jupyter Notebook and friends.

I guess the biggest challenge Eve faces is the same one faced by all those other 5GL "languages" that are now rotting at the bottom of a dumpster: How do you become relevant beyond a tiny niche problem space?



Exactly my thoughts. Every DSL needs an escape hatch at some point. What do I do when EVE isn't fast enough or lacks some feature I need.
