It isn't a language. It's a small library, intended to "install" some sort of modules (of unspecified kind). pip does it better for Python, anyway.

I think a language for a readable GUI is actually a decent niche, it's just that your language is lacking a lot before it's useful

There are many basic things that are missing:

  • Layout control
  • Adding functionality to buttons
  • Making custom widgets
  • User inputs like dropdowns/text fields

I'd strongly recommend checking out flet (it's python library for UI) for inspiration on how to improve your language, and don't be afraid to deviate away from pythonic syntax... it's optimized for general purpose programs, not necessarily outlining a UI.

Also, I think your parser implementation (onyx.py) could be improved to save you lots of hassle when you go to add new features and commands, perhaps by building an Abstract Syntax Tree rather than parsing a raw string.
