Feeling special isn't important. What's important is the thought of something getting altered to fit a special usecase which excludes yours ...all because the people doing it don't know what the alternatives are.
Fortunately uv got written and we don't have a problem. I don't have to use it but I can when I want to.
I also value my time and life and some degree of standardization.
A language grows on it's ability to create beginners, not to make the people who have learned it the harder way feel special at the expense of others.
