It brings to mind a review of Dart by a perl-guy
(http://blogs.perl.org/users/rafael_garcia-suarez/2011/10/why-dart-is-not-the-language-of-the-future.html).
Specifically:

"I should note that the integration of popular design patterns at the
syntax level is disappointing: design patterns tend to emerge to work
around a language design's weaknesses. Embracing them is a bit like
admitting a design failure up front."

The proposed change has the same feel to it.

Peter
