What? Why would I want to introduce more differences? That the languages are so similar is the strength of the argument. Identical concision, different power

What? Why would I want to introduce more differences? That the languages are so similar is the strength of the argument. Identical concision, different power, QED.
- brlewis 19y agoI don't want more differences, just difference in a different place. You could have, for example, defined Arc'' as identical to Arc except gzip-compressed. Once you have a parse tree, Arc, Arc' and Arc'' are identical, but Arc'' is actually more concise. But that's useless, because nobody is saying conciseness and power are identical. Arc' is no more likely to educate anybody than Arc'' is.
