It's very interesting to see such an explicit endorsement of standardisation efforts, and also the comparison with other languages such as C++.

The situation is also similar to that of Prolog, where many important language features — some of them more recent than others — are not yet included in the standard even though they are provided by several existing implementations with varying degrees of compatibility.

As always, there is hope that standardisation efforts gain traction again, since standards are an important prerequisite for teaching these languages and for extending their application areas.
