Our leadership is doing a random walk, but almost all other 
languages are as well, if not walking backwards 
intentionally(cough rust), a race with very slow contestants its 
not impossible that we win.

Our fundamental types are broken, its nothing compared to c++ but 
its still just true that when I work on a numbery generic 
function and I want a litteral, I have one option, .init in ints 
it 0 in floats its a "LOL FUCK YOU"

Someone added range functions to nullable, so thats little 
feature I wouldve never even considered but now theres not a 
clean divide between lists and elements.

Trait hell sucks, its not actually user friendly enough it takes 
hours to untangle a simple thing, we should attack it from a 
different angle and make a type-api like the range api thats just 
a list of required keywords that get a good enough result. Ship 
data structures. And we be so far ahead of everyone elses meta 
programming.
