I think that really what you want is something that's geared

spec needs to be improved really revolve around making it a
proper spec, which means making it far more precise, not making
it more amenable to folks reading it in order to learn the
language. But unfortunately, what we have right now is kind of
in the middle. It's not precise enough to really be a proper
spec, and it's generally terse enough that it's harder to use
it as a learning resource (though it usually has the necessary
information in it).

Also, having a C++ like spec, written by the elite, for the
elite, and then everyone else has to wait until some kind person
explains the spec, is really not a great model.
It's equivalent to the elitist view of trickle down economics -
which is not working in my country.
