I really wish there was a "syntactic-sugar-on-top-of-C++" language that would compile down to C++ and have 100% compatibility with the existing C++ ecosystem (so that you can just directly use a class from any C++ library). Someth

I don't think performance is the primary reason behind this. The motivation section in the article states in the very first sentence: Silent property failures and the resulting proliferation of 'undefined' are the most promi

I think the bigger issue is not just the lack of choice "right now", but the continued dependence on a manufacturer's support of the product. What happens when they come up with a newer model and decide that they're goin
