Yes it comes with its problems. The context sensitivity is annoying and it makes creating good tooling hard. But given macros it doesn't worsen the situation much anyway. For writing a batch parser/compiler that properly reads all the includes too, the context sensitivity is only a theoretical problem. Adding a type table is easy. Not having to type "var" all the time is very nice on the other hand.
