Features that can be added through libraries should be added that way. You cannot add new syntax which involves scoping of variables through libraries. How would you do destructuring assignments with a library and have it as succinct as it can be done with syntax?
- EGreg 15y agoYeah, some features can be pushed into the language, but I like languages which have few rules. Like C and like CHESS :) My favorite languages are C, Java and Python though. So go figure...
- petermichaux 15y agoIf you like minimalistic languages, have you checked out Scheme? Because of its macros, the core language can stay small and the users can expand its syntax.
