Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 4)

Topaz is a small, closed application language that reads like Python/TypeScript and compiles to native binaries via Rust, emphasizing Unicode-first identifiers and structured templates for SQL/shell/path safety. Its locked specification and agent-ready design are interesting, though the project is very early-stage with limited adoption.
