But isn't this how you end up with a 'bloated' language? Everyone has their own corner case, own little way the language can be improved. Over time, these will inevitability burden a language. Adding features becomes necessarily bureaucratic as languages mature. You can't just add/change stuff without seeing how it interacts with everyone else, which gets difficult as languages grow and become popular.
