Attributes are fine, as long as i don't need to put it on every 
functions because this random one has an attribute

I actually would like more attributes, for builtin 
functionalities, like @cDefine on imports to avoid having to 
pollute my makefile with duplicates

Move constructor in interesting tho, it only appeal to C++ 
developers, a dangerous species that leads to a language nobody 
wants to use

Look at these C like languages gaining momentum, they embrace 
features that doesn't require one to fall into RAII/OOP traps, D 
will accumulate yet another feature that only appeal to C++ crowd 
that lead to stupid APIs, yet, even Andrei went back to C++
