I don’t think there being an alternate is any reason to not improve something.
I’m realistic here, I know there are concerns which are 1,000,000x more
important than me, games or other time sensitive applications, and backwards
compatibility and language complications and sometimes philosophy. Just a few
things here and there, though, not necessarily any of the ideas I’ve come up
with, can solve or mitigate this problem.
I never thought I’d see modules or classes! Everything is on the right path.
Just being able to deal with the GC (and maybe types if I’m lucky) is the only
big hurdle to the kind of thing myself and others are doing.
