Thing is, by now, we have plenty of languages with macros that let you do things like implement a parallel for-loop as a library - and it doesn't require keeping all your syntax that primitive. It does mean that macros are a bit harder to write, but I would argue that more readable syntax saves more time overall (since you aren't writing macros most of the time).
