Nothing I said has anything to do with the usefulness of the language - I work with it every day and have for a decade, and I hope that I'm not completely crazy. I was just stating that anything that appears in core basically gets to 1.0ish and is never touched again. This seems demonstrably true to me, and not even necessarily a bad thing, but perhaps others disagree.
