GoKawiilEssay argues programming languages should be user-customizable, not fixed
A new opinion piece contends that programming languages are treated as fixed, sacred artifacts, forcing developers to build workaround build systems and conventions instead of directly modifying their languages. It cites Raymond Chen's 2005 blog post opposing 'flow-control macros,' which warned that such customizations obscure code semantics and complicate debugging, as an example of the resistance to language malleability.
