Why do languages, like #rust, for example, need so many new features?

@tomekw There are simple languages, but they stay “simple” by pushing lots of complexity into library code.

@marshray definitely true, for some languages, yes, but I think, for example, #clojure, escapes this definition

@tomekw Doesn’t Clojure inherit the semantics of the JVM?
How common is it to call existing JVM libraries? perhaps through a wrapper

@tomekw Oh no, I’m with you.
I have learned Lisps many times, but apparently I’m just not inspired by parentheses the way some people are.
The homoiconicity, I don’t get it.
