I like how you're leading by example, it makes it so much easier to
learn The Right Thing (tm) from you.
I won't even attempt to argue that his point of view is not important.
This sentence is a lie?
It is important to make a cut between what is not supposed to work and
what is not yet implemented properly. He said 'the _language_ suffers
from const issues'. And 'its part-broken'. The design is fundamentally
sound. It could maybe be extended to cover more use cases, but the
issues with const he addresses have been resolved with inout, and it
is likely that the implementation will soon be correct.
"The design is fundamentally sound." --> No offense, but maybe it's
_you_ who should follow your advice and actually provide some support?
At least I'm giving you examples; you're not giving me anything.
Oh, sorry, I forgot that your arguments are all objective and correct by
definition. I didn't notice that you didn't mark them as subjective.
Also he probably is doing some considerably different stuff than, for
example, I am, because I don't run into that kind of
productivity-blocker issues.
And that makes my point of view unimportant. Yes, that's a completely
objective and unbiased point of view, it makes perfect sense.
Sorry for forcing you to read my unimportant feedback.
