Hi Stef, What you are proposing is interesting.
The criteria for the current language is to be minimalistic and composable because it is supposed to work with any object, not just with code, and the speed should be as good as possible in all cases. At this point, # means filter the existing list by the category. You do not need #ref. It's enough #r. The nice thing about it is that it has clear semantics, is cheap and composable through diving. I think this is a useful operator that we should not remove. But, this does not mean that we cannot play with other operators. We played also with other predicates, but the problem is that they are slow, and we have limited bandwidth (we have only one process for all computations). All in all, it would be cool to have experiments in this direction. However, I would want to have simple semantics that can be explained easily. We already have a few simple actions and people still do not use them to their full potential.
