I love the idea of making a memory safe and performant language, but maybe we could just stop with those two things — and not require programmers to learn a pile of entirely new concepts just because someone wanted a challenge.

In particular you can use structs of function pointers. I do it sometimes. But yeah, about classes, there were systems people who were ready to fork the language to remove them if they got added. (Not that they were seriously considered.)

And this is the problem. You can’t take something people are comfortable with and make it safe and performant, you have to cater to a lot of people’s other opinions.

Writing nasty abstract stuff like, say, Boolean circuit data structures without classes seems like a bad way to go. Easy at first and then painful later on.

Struct/impl is good enough for most cases. You only need traditional classes for inheritance and there are other ways to simulate it.
