As a Swede I am surprisingly drawn to this. At first I read this as a fun joke, an art project if you will. By the end after reading the code and being surprised by how comfortably it reads to me I find myself kind of wanting to use this. In a way it is exactly like brunost, surprisingly good.

I don't know how far I want to take this language, but if there is a market for an actual nordic/norwegian language then it shouldn't be Brunost.

I would want something that compiles down to something, not interpreted, typesafe, with a proper package manager, etc.

My initial goal was always to take it far enough to do file I/O and sockets, so I could make a Brunost website in Brunost.

If there is interest in the language from the POV of education and so forth I'd be happy to tailor it away from goofs and gafs and into something a little more usable, but I don't want the language to become a full-on production language.
