When I brought this up I was on my current primary rant. Even small additions to the language have an impact on tools, best practices, ... which have to be explored about how to use them and how those interact with each other. To be clear: I love anonymous classes, I always wanted them when using FilterIterator etc. (while meanwhile generators+closures might be a better tool for some of those use cases) But we are moving extremely fast in reshaping the language making it hard for our users, of which many -- in my assumption -- primarily want a stable platform, to keep up. Oh and talking about "stable platform".
