Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It seems the points you raise are about syntax, how it is to learn and work with. But could we read the author's criticism as being about a different scale? How it stacks up as a project for huge, native-type applications? (I realize the author did not signpost this clearly, if this is what they had in mind, so I could be misreading them.) What do you think about this reading? I found your statement that (not a direct quote) "lots of languages do this and it isn't too surprising or hard to learn" a particularly good and simple answer to the author...so perhaps their motivations are a little different? What do you think? Thank you again for taking the time to write.
