I'm not well versed in this space. Are you suggesting designing a language without specifying a formal grammar?



One does not preclude the other. Most languages that lend themselves to hand-parsing via recursive descent are probably LL(1).

Syntaxes that are easy to parse via recursive descent are probably also the ones that are easiest to parse for humans.
