If the goal is truly "clarity", then I fail to see how this leads to more readable programs than Knuth's Web (or cweb for a more practical implementation).

If you really mean "C/C++, but with the sharp pointy bits filed down," then I fail to see what it adds over MISRA.

The bottom line is that we've had "clarity-first" languages for decades; the reason they're not more widely used is not simply that no one has tried this, nor that programmers appreciate murky code.
