Pretty fair IMO to abbreviate something that's so core to a language's vision.
When talking to the faithful, sure. Language communities need to constantly fight against a tendency towards navel-gazing and only wanting to talk to the faithful.

- stcredzero 7y agoSure. Maybe I came across harsher than I meant. Please take this in a constructive spirit. I'm a hoary old veteran who has been a part of a non-mainstream dynamic language community which fell under the naval-gazing trap. In the age of the Internet, a language should always be thinking about outreach. It doesn't matter if you have the best technology, or it it's faster and more nimble. The community needs to keep up with the outreach side.
