you seem confused. Please explain how lambda and performance are "notoriously" unlikely to go hand-in-hand. They're orthogonal, yes. "Notorious"..what does that

you seem confused. Please explain how lambda and performance are "notoriously" unlikely to go hand-in-hand. They're orthogonal, yes. "Notorious"..what does that actually mean? Also I will disagree that stdlib and core are "very different problems". Exhibit A: Go delivers stdlib and core language together, hand-and-glove style, with out-of-the-box huge functionality. It's one reason why it's killing Python. Stdlib is a key part of language functionality and is intricately linked to uptake. Just ask Ocaml.
