Now if only something could be done about its schizophrenic standard library and built-in functions.

  Things are done about them in cases where people feel there is strong reason to do so. It just that breaking backwards compatibility might not be worth it many cases. Personally I never understood the complaint. The standard library is pretty decent and well documented. Sure there is lots of historical cruft and inconsistencies but I would be way more annoyed if it got changed.

    While I agree wrt backwards compatibility, some sort of per-file way to disable the crufty parts so they don't accidentally sneak into new code might be nice.

      This would be good enough for me.
