> Well, okay, if your point of view is that behaving like multiple other major languages and specifically taking the lessons (good and bad) of a specific existing language ecosystem into account before doing your own thing is the same as disregarding other languages If you've only looked at two or three languages that not coincidentally happen to do things pretty much the same as each other, and not looked elsewhere, then you are indeed disregarding other languages. > and reinventing the wheel I didn't mention reinventing the wheel. > I'm not sure what words mean anymore.
