[chuck-users] "Or"

[Tambet]

It started from getters-setters and evolved into properties.

ChucK lacks almost all features of nowadays language and that's sad - it
does a real innovation in one aspect, but is 10 years outdated in many
others ..I would really like to see that the language design is seriously
reworked and all kinds of syntactic sugar introduced - especially lambdas
and better forms of iterators.

But stability and functionality should not traded off for that - having
really good virtual machine is more important as there could be different
languages designed to it and that would be only good to ChucK (as long as
those can cooperate).
