Just some usual C++ critique and very vague basic principles
about having a core language with some extensions and library
support, nothing constructive or informative really.
I generally agree with you. But his idea of language extension
looks very nice, and as I think is similar to tendency in D make
some features part of library (e.g. octal numbers, complex
numbers). And verbalize such concept can make this tendency
sharper and clearer and possible more productive.
The last Andrej proposal for allocators may become example of
such "language extension". D specifies interface of allocators
and introduce reference implementation, but for example embeded D
provide other implementation.
