If you want a large language, isn't it a better idea to build it on top of something the makes better guarantees for the user? I prefer my program to not continue executing after reaching an erroneous state.
- johncowan 3y agoNot if it's so constraining to the implementer that you can't get any implementations. Nobody's paying us to do this stuff.
- bjoli 3y agoOf course not, but knowing that the program should never continue executing in an erroneous state is for me a pretty nice-to-have. Scheme enforces correctness and safety in many places and I think that one in particular is important enough to warrant being opt-out rather than opt-in.
