Very interesting.

I believe this is the first completely custom scripting language I've seen for FRC that attempts to provide a full programming environment - You have loops and conditional blocks and everything.

Our system executes commands in sequence, with numeric arguments. The majority of the code is LabVIEW native - We simply have a high-level script which guides the high-level actions (such as drive_straight distance speed, stop, turn heading speed, drive_straight distance speed, etc). This closely mirrors the C-function call system we use in VRC, where functions do all of the work and we call them in order with arguments.

I have also seen a system which are time-based - A command will be given with absolute or relative start/stop times, and the system schedules them all, but that system also had the majority of the core code in native blocks instead of the script.

It'd be interesting to debate the merits of putting more or less code into the scripts vs the native functions.
