We've had a lot of fun playing that game, let's get serious. Let's do it.

It's as easy as just not using the features that we would remove. Try
coding that way for say a week. You will find that some things are not
really missed, others you simply can't keep yourself from using no
matter how hard you try to avoid them.

I'm looking forward to trying to use "repeat ... until" as my only
looping and local blocking construct :-)
