> One issue I have with it. I don't think it's complex, but I think people are not spending the right time learning it. People learn the subset of features they like and stay with it, and because there are so many ways to skin a cat with it, everyone have their own style. It could have benefit from the concept that other languages have of "there is always one best way to do things". I think that's the dark side of having both the OO side and the FP side working well. I'm not sure if I want something like OCaml, where everyone tells you to just ignore the OO part of the language. --- I think the talk mentioned all the right things, and shows that the people in charge listen and address issues raised by the community. Also, just look at the productivity. Which other language can claim that people work on a redesigned compiler, a new IR, a shared bytecode backend, and a rewritten macro engine at the same time, in addition to developing and evolving the current language, compiler and library?
