I think it's not a bad idea, but I think you probably wouldn't use it
for general-purpose OOA, OOD, or OOP right now. For a long time, OO
overwhelmingly embraced
In Python, we can extract known keywords easily:
def f(a, *args, b=2, c=3, **kwargs):
return (a, args, b, c, kwargs)
print(f(42, 43, c=44, d=45)) #=> (42, (43,), 2, 44, {'d': 45})
Doing so in Racket is not as easy.
#lang racket/base
(provide lambda/kw define/kw)
(require racket/list

I always wanted to ask if the prototype object model is a good idea or bad idea?
The same question applies to Morphic User Interface Construction Environment -
good idea or bad idea?
Given neither idea seems to have caught on I’m assuming both are dead ends?
Kind regards,

I appreciate Eich's candor and thoughtfulness there.
From Self, I think JavaScript initially got the prototype object
