>some of those features have gone into the dustbin for good reasons
I'm curious what features you're thinking of. I know PHP put lexical scope into the dustbin, but languages since then haven't. Looks like the wrong decision in retrospect. Python put multi-statement lambdas in the dustbin but I don't think there's consensus that that was for good reasons.
