> I feel like a lot of the stuff that would've been most useful to the language has not been added, while many things that cover edge cases have not been. The exception are smart pointers and the STL, both of which I whole heartedly love.

It was the STL that convinced me to leave the language. I thought we could have done much better. In general I think languages should not evolve much. The first few years should be a period of adjustment and evolution; but after that the language should stabilize. Unfortunately many languages evolve to the point of being top-heavy and useless.

Never heard of it. I'll take a look.
