I must be stuck in the past because my criterion to evaluate the relative importance of a language feature is still roughly “did Java 1.1 have this”. If not, you can *probably* be a productive developer without it

Doesn’t mean languages shouldn’t add new features of course, just that nothing is truly “essential” and maybe language implementors should spend a little bit more time on tooling instead

Except graphics. Tons of stuff just wasn’t in there. Some of it you could build yourself - I wrote variable-width lines, clipping etc. - but there were only like five fonts.
