@wallhackio @aescling i don’t think it has very many and i think they’re mostly not evil though

@wallhackio @aescling oh maybe we’re just agreeing and think we’re arguing

i was going to say:

» i’m mostly joking but to me the only conceptual barrier to adding a new feature to a language is incompatibility with what has already been specified

» so it stands to reason that the language which is the least specified will be the one with the most potential for new features

because i interpreted you as saying “i consider the potential for a language feature to be added to, itself, be a language feature”

but if you are not taking such a radical stance and only talking about features as they exist today, i think we both agree that javascript has language features, i just forgot what they were?

@wallhackio @aescling oh well then C must have the most features, on account of being the least specified

@wallhackio @aescling arguably things like generator functions and class expressions have introduced new possibilities for the language tho

@aescling @wallhackio i suppose a few features have been added in recent years but i wouldn’t call them evil

@wallhackio javascript has language features?

@wallhackio brown rice is also acceptable

@alyssa i wonder if they are obliged as consequence of not allowing sideloading of alternate storefronts

@wallhackio being adorable

@coriander you have higher standards

@aschmitz @kit like i agree that docked consoles are mostly dead at this point, but handheld consoles definitely still have something to offer, and yes the Steam Deck exists, but how different is the Steam Deck from the Switch really? it's still a separate computer you are buying just for games; it just has broader configurability and support at the cost of worse integration and out-of-the-box experience

@aschmitz @kit also it is easier to play a handheld on your couch
