- npsimons 5y ago> I wouldn’t call it modern however I wonder how the claim stands up if we remove that "modern" adjective. Or perhaps consider that "modern" languages don't have some of these features as they turned out to be "harmful" (see Dijkstra's "GOTO considered harmful") - at least one reply in that thread calls out one of these "missing features" as very dangerous, sort of like how some C++ projects will forbid features (private inheritance, etc) for ease of maintenance.
