I've long held that belief. But doing so is very technical and political, and not fun.
Turns out what is more fun is to create a new language and rewrite the whole ecosystem. So a lot of the energy is going there instead.

- pizlonator 3y agoYeah. Building a new language from scratch is definitely easier than retrofitting new properties into the semantics of an existing one. Hasn’t stopped me from trying though. :-) And the CHERI folks are trying, too. So it’s really more of a political problem than a technical one. The excuse extravaganza that we’re seeing from Stroustrup and Sutter doesn’t help at all.
