I have nothing more substantial than a gut feeling to back this up, but it all feels half baked and too conservative to me. Like they cranked out some special syntax and new concepts that sort of solve their problems and called it a day. It may look like the path of least resistance initially, but sooner or later the features will start stepping on each others toes.

- codr4 8y agoSorry about the toes, but identifying with a programming language will always get you into trouble. My gut is fine, thank you very much. They're C heads, trying to build a simplified C; at least they were, they sort of messed that up with garbage collection, wild west threading and using reflection for all the wrong reasons. Sure, now the tone is different. But back in the days when the language was first released, they would make fun of anyone mentioning generics or exceptions.
