Being a small language is not an excuse. Scheme is a small language, still has dynamic-wind (since R5RS, so no spring chicken). Smalltalk is a tiny language, but has BlockClosure#ensure:. You can have basic safety and QOL features without making the language a monstrous beast. Hell, you can cut old garbage like K&R declarations or digraphs to make room. You can even remove iso646 and most of string.h as a gimme. |
