So is the argument that the language reference is as good as many existing language specifications, and my complaint is only one of semantics?
- steveklabnik 8y agoYes, it's basically about what you mean by "guarantee". Very few things are formally guaranteed. People tend to use "guarantee" to mean "I believe this is true with a very high level of confidence."
