What are the plans regarding "functional part" of the language?
1) It seems the standard library would benefit from implementing
functional alternatives to every statement (e.g. foreach, switch, etc.).
There are some more interesting functions (like "tap" which was
discussed on this NG not so long ago)
Probably I won't discuss this because it's a very new idea.
2) @pure functions - attribute inferring (feasible? good idea? going to
be implemented in some way?) and optimizations (is there any good
showcases right know? what's the potential? what's planned?)
I'll try to touch on attribute inference. Thanks!
