I can't agree about the dot. Dot makes it easy to chain things left to write, and also almost always dot based syntax is more readable than stuffing all arguments in parenthesis. xs.delete(x) vs delete(xs,x) And virtual / regular function distinction exists in performance centered languages for a good reason. Either you have to go out of your way to prevent dynamic dispatch or use clunky function pointer syntax and manage vtables manually. Similar can be said to many features he complains about.
