anybody get this feeling that all languages are converging to a similar core set ?


All languages are becoming Lisp, except for the added challenge of avoiding parentheses.


Dylan did it first though.


Modula-2 had coroutines!


Indeed, but I was replying to "All languages are becoming Lisp, except for the added challenge of avoiding parentheses.".

Now if we are speaking about coroutines, there are other languages even older than Modula-2, although it was probably the most mainstream one at its peak.


Everyone hates lisp, but can't avoid reinventing it.


I'd say ml but yeah
