What "Python like new syntax project"?

So far, individual people have, in povray.pov4.discussion.general, (a) 
suggested design principles for a new POV-Ray 4 SDL, (b) proposed 
various different existing languages as new POV-Ray 4 SDL (yes, I think 
python was mentioned in such a context, too), and/or (c) some more or 
less concrete proposals for an actual new language.

So far, nothing has come out of it that comes anywhere close to 
deserving to be called a "project", let alone anything officially 
endorsed by the dev team.

OSL hasn't been mentioned yet (though support for "a shader language" 
was mentioned as a desired feature by some).
