That’s funny because C++ has become a laundry list of features. Go and Rust on the other hand are new enough to have coherency taken as a whole.

- pjmlp 8y agoLanguage coherency without business critical libraries, tooling and support for existing use cases, doesn't help much regarding language uptake. I like Rust, yet I would be very masochistic to drop the C++ tooling support to write native libraries to plug into Java or .NET applications, and drag our customers and team alongside, just in name of coherency. I have seen too many coherent languages fail to survive the adoption curve, because their communities failed to focus on the essencials to actually adopt them.
