Totally agree, upvoted! Re your comment on "taste".. Anders Hejlsberg is on video saying his choices in compiler and IDE design come down to taste. I think he's got good taste, so I followed his platforms from Turbo C++, to Delphi and C++ Builder, then onto .NET and now Typescript (Yes, I skipped J++). When you actually understand how he thinks and how the tools are meant to be used, they are incredible. He balances the tradeoffs to achieve fast performance in all aspects from design to compilation to great runtime performance, with actual simplicity and ease of use. I learnt so much reading the VCL source code.. Anyway I almost agree when you say >> I don’t think we’ve ever really had good taste as an industry. But Anders' work shines through as a guiding light, when people really get it.
