       The phenomenon described in this article applies to programming languages too, yet vanishingly few language communities make any attempt to control complexity. Go, Scheme and Lua are three I can think of that do. While I don't always agree with the decisions made to turn things down, I appreciate the necessity of making those decisions.If you just add every feature that's requested and seems reasonable, you end up with C++, JavaScript or Scala.http://ignorethecode.net/blog/2010/02/02/removing-features/ #golang #scheme #lua
