first big change, change several expressions into statements. Now you gotta put loops in functions and can no longer pass conditionals to functions
We removed garbage collection, enjoy bending over backwards to avoid memory leaks. That's what people want right?
We removed multiple dispatch in favor of multiple nested conds several layers deep. Look at how much cleaner the code is
All code can no longer be patched at runtime. You shouldn't be patching those libraries anyway. We know better than you.
Any change to Classes now involves a full recompile. You can't change them at run time. Isn't that more convenient
More antifeatures features will be added every couple of years. We took out most of the metaprogramming facilities so you now need to make these changes in each implementation rather than in a library. Now isn't that much better?
yes you can see this kinda shit in REAL TIME on the internet if you go on #symbolics2:matrix.org
