I don't see it that way. There are thousands of languages now. It's wise counsel to people (like me!) who hope to introduce a language that actually gets used. If you can't "check those boxes" on this handy checklist, well, maybe you gotta spend more time at the drawing board.
For those of us that are going to do it anyway, with no expectation of becoming popular and widely-used, I would treat it a stimulating challenge rather than a slammed door.
- creatornator 6y agoI think there's something to be said for going through the exercise even if the answer to every question actually does indicate the language shouldn't be written. What happens when you come up with an idea that actually does have a place? It's better to start with the background of having done it before than try to create a dream project with no experience in making some toys.
