@mevenlennonbertrand @koronkebitch This reminds me of something that I think Neel Krishnaswami once said. Neel was in turn relating something that John Reynolds had once said, and I don't remember the exact wording, but it was something like: a programming language design is a success if it enables someone to do something with the language that the language designer hadn't imagined. It's a really nice take on language design, because it centers people. I should ask Neel for the actual quote!
