That's pretty new for a programming language.
Sadly it needs a language feature that doesn't exist yet
New language features are for new code.
How long until this sort of feature is built into programming languages?
Do languages really need new features every N months to stay relevant?
We probably should compare the timeline when those features are added to other languages
Wouldn't it be better to modify an existing, popular language to support this feature?
What language features would you like to see removed?
It's not about a language feature, is it?
I don't think you're disagreeing with parent. I also think these features are not groundbreaking and should be considered table stakes for any new/sane language.
