That is definitely an issue. Though once again, you could do what they did for the Jaguars, and add it in after a year as a firmware upgrade. And who says that the interpreter has to be fancy or anything? Forth, basic, scheme(!)... There has to be a simple interpreter already out there. Scheme would be really easy to write, too. There is very little to no syntax. Or something like Logo, or ...

One of the really valuable parts of having a control language is that you can run things that matter and are custom at very high frequencies (1khz), and it can be sandboxed so that FIRST is always in control. Without having to mess with extra hardware which adds significant development and manufacturing challenges.
