How much shorter would those texts be if:
1) All optional sections were removed.
2) All informative sections were removed.
3) All libraries, which can be implemented using only non-optional
language features, were removed.
And how well would a team of student manage John McCormick's train
modeling course with each language? (I think McCormick is still
teaching? Can we get him to run that experiment?)
Greetings,
Jacob
