"most of the time" is THE problem here. Once users approach a barrier (missing language feature) they will complain and push you until you implement that feature. After several such features some developer in basement of your building will say "ok, fine, I'll do it" and now you accidentally have a compiler.
Edit: I know because I've recently made a "almost universal data watcher" which can react to combination of measured values changed in different devices and execute actions. Simple solution, but I fear the day when someone needs to execute other recipes in response to data and creates loops.
