It depends on the creator of the language which itch the language is supposed to scratch. For example, all of your above points just make me yawn.
To arrive at some more objective criterium, I would strenghten your idea of "exploring something new" as follows: How does the language make something new possible, that wasn't possible before? Built-in JSX doesn't survive this test, for example, because JSX was certainly possible before.
- prmph 3y agoI see. So what are some features that would satisfy the criterium that you would like to see in languages?
- auggierose 3y agoI would like to have a programming language that also works as a logic, and doesn't use types to achieve that. Think equational reasoning, but with binders.
