- MaxBarraclough 8y agoI like the comparison to steampunk: modern ideas bolted on to antique technology.
- mhd 8y agoIt also dropped some letters (æ, þ) and pronouns (thou, thee). Most of what was added was vocabulary, to be comparable to C++ one would probably have to add all the Finnish cases, Japanese gendered language and all the Vietnamese accents. And then have some people who mostly communicate by yodeling or Mongolian throat singing.
