The dilemma we are in right now is: On the one hand we want to attract more people to develop YaST modules, we want to make it easy for them so they love to code YaST modules. On the other hand we want to switch our own language YCP and stick to a common used language and gain their debugger, testing infrastructure ... aso. Now we need to figure out how much time we want to spend on both of this (without making anyone angry because he had hard time learning YCP and then we drop it in favour of the new language).
