H. S. Teoh:
Personally, I'm for simplifying the core language and moving non-essentials out to the standard library
How do you define "essential"? - Frequently used; - The compiler can compile it as efficiently as handwritten code;- Has a sufficiently clean semantics, that is most times the one that's desired;
- You can't (yet) implement its main purposes with library-code; - Sufficiently important. - etc. Bye, bearophile
