It seems that people won't switch language, or rather create a new 
language, even though an existing would fit them, just because the 
existing one lacks one feature. It's like "Yeah, D is great it has 9 of 
the features I need, but it lacks the 10th. Therefore I can't switch, 
even though the language I use now doesn't have any of these 10 features."
