It is great to have a conversation. It's good to revisit assumptions about what 
a good language should be. Although I don't agree with him, I thought that it 
was great that he questioned the value of RAII.

But I think it's a waste of time to develop a new language that has 98% overlap 
with existing ones, like if I proposed a language just like C but with member 
functions.
