Yes, I think I said this in the first LPC talk about YNL.
My main goal is to make support for higher level languages seamless.
That means someone needs to write a code gen or ynl.py-like
integration for Go, Rust or C++ (proper C++ one not just a copy
of the C code gen). Complicating the specs makes that less likely.
