It's a chicken-egg problem.
1) More popular means more money for RobC, incentive to change the
language for the users, and more functionality.
2) Changes to the language would make it more useable, easier, and more
popular, but there is no money in it immeadiately.
Us annoying loudmouths are a minority and all we can do is press for #2,
until (if ever) there is a #1. Or like David Cuny (and others) said and did,
move to another language like Lua, Python, or Perl (ewwwww). Getting RobC
to add things these other languages have is like getting him to lay the egg,
but we can't have chicken for dinner till that egg hatches and grows up.
