Getting your pen doesn't demand enormous power, but you are not obliged to field any, either way.

We generally don't know, when we set out, how much support we will be able to benefit from, down the road.

I think the gp was talking about anti-features. Austral's announcement included a list of features it avoided on purpose. Including several from c++. operator overloading, increment operators and even implicit oder of operations were listed as features that made codebases worse, even if no one has to use them.

Coding by superstition was a bad idea before Austral, and remains a bad idea after.
