So you are quite happy to see the language filled with complicated features which do nothing but save a few keystrokes or lazy developers?On 7 Nov 2017, at 17:21, Tony Marston <TonyMarston@hotmail.com> wrote: I was around when that happened, so I know what I'm talking about.I'm not going to get into the whole "it can be done in userland why do we need it in core" debate, because honestly that's a silly discussion to have when you don't have any planned implementation to discuss the merits of.
The only reason I wanted to respond was your last line, quoted above. Being "around" when something happens means zero as far as credibility or knowledge. The captain of the titanic was "around" when it sank.Irrelevant analogy. If you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_instruction_set_computer you will see the advantage of getting rid of complex and specialised instructions and concentrating on simple and general instructions. -- Tony Marston
