But I think it's a waste of time to develop a new language that has 98% overlap with existing ones, like if I proposed a language just like C but with member functions.
It seems that people won't switch language, or rather create a new language, even though an existing would fit them, just because the existing one lacks one feature. It's like "Yeah, D is great it has 9 of the features I need, but it lacks the 10th. Therefore I can't switch, even though the language I use now doesn't have any of these 10 features."
