I wonder if we're talking at cross-purposes. You seem to be saying "syntax matters" - & I agree
-
I said the same thing elsewhere in the thread. There is the other thing, semantics.
-
Syntax is the UI for semantics. You seemed to argue that due to TC, semantics is trivial.
-
That's the part I was trying to counter. I very much don't think syntax is insignificant.
-
oh! Definitely not! I agree with the Fellesein definition I cited earlier for semantics.
-
but syntax is the UI for semantics and has to co-evolve.
-
due to TC, you can see that the ease of expressiveness is relevant, is all.
