Honest question: have you ever looked into Kaizen and lean

stopping everything in Phobos and waiting for "breakthroughs"

results.
This is not true. There are many development methodologies and
most of them are not suitable for designing programming
languages, including all "lean" methodologies.
Kaizen just means continuous improvement. My Dad is an
industrial engineer and talked about it all the time growing
up. I really can't even fathom why anyone would be opposed to
it...
Lean is a broader concept and may not necessarily be a good fit.
Apples and oranges. Well designed programming languages requires
a specification that is coherent, so they tend to follow a
waterfall pattern, not an iterative pattern (kaizen).
