Well, okay, if your point of view is that behaving like multiple other major languages and specifically taking the lessons (good and bad) of a specific existing language ecosystem into account before doing your own thing is the same as disregarding other languages and reinventing the wheel, I'm not sure what words mean anymore.

I didn't mention reinventing the wheel.
> I'm not sure what words mean anymore.
