shouldn't this be expanded into a full-on scripting language?
Heck yes! For audio vectors the dataflow paradigm is glorious. But building k-rate algorithms and logic with a mouse makes one i-rate (a bit weird to whinge about this when I choose to spend so much time doing it I'll admit).
This was my exact motivation for lolPd[1]. There are some very very little TCL implementations[2][3] which could map quite nicely to Pd. Another fun idea is a visual LISP-like such as Blockly[4].
Anyway, I'm sorry to conjure up the spectacle of another several decades of challenging software development and maintenance work. We probably don't say this often enough around here: thank you very much for Pd, Miller.
