Do you have a better definition than that of wiki ?

It seems to me one can create reliable, maintainable computer 
programs in a production environment in D, that it is hardly 
limited in terms of not having a full range of programming 
constructs, and that library support is not a serious problem for 
a bigger project because the cost of writing bindings or wrapping 
things is one-off.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_programming_language

A toy language is a computer programming language that lacks the 
requirements to create reliable, maintainable computer programs 
in a production environment.[citation needed] Which programs to 
categorize as toy languages is difficult, however.[citation 
needed] Languages such as Brainfuck and Whitespace are both 
considered esoteric programming languages.[citation needed] They 
are Turing complete,[citation needed] which means they are able 
to compute any computable function.[citation needed] Logo is an 
example of a toy language.[citation needed] Its goal was 
originally to create a math land where children could play with 
words and sentences.[citation needed] For a long time, the GNU 
Compiler Collection was shipped with a toy programming language 
called Treelang[citation needed] which was essentially C without 
the advanced features such as pointers, arrays, and 
records.[citation needed]
Limitations

Though a toy language may be mathematically complete, it is 
usually limited in one or several ways. It may not support a full 
range of programming constructs or concepts. It may lack a full 
set of support libraries considered to be required for creating 
production-quality programs.
Uses

The main use of a toy language is in computer languages research. 
Some uses are as frameworks for researching new programming 
constructs or as a prototype for new language concepts or 
paradigms. Other notable uses are as a learning or demonstration 
tool, e.g. in universities, for programming constructs and 
techniques not available in mainstream languages and as an 
exercise in building a language from scratch.
