FWIW I think everyone on the committee should be forced to watch it.
While some of the complaints mentioned in the video are minor legacy issues
from C, immeasurable damage has been done to the language in the name of:
- not wanting to introduce new keywords
- not wanting to change the language
- forcing features into the standard library when they should be language
features
- not using version numbers in namespaces
- insisting on compatibility when a clean break would be better
I could go on.
