I think you could not be more wrong even if you tried, and you clearly did not even read the proposal you're commenting on.
This proposal aims to basically create an entirely different programming language aimed at being easy to integrate in extsting codebases. The language just so happens to share some syntax with C++, but you definitely can't compile it with a C++ compiler because it introduces a series of backwards incompatible changes.
It's also absurd how you complain about introducing new features. Can you point out any language that is not absolutely dead that is not introducing new features with each release?
I'm sorry, you are clearly confused. The
autokeyword is not "dynamically typed". It is called "auto" because it does automatic type deduction. It is syntactic sugar to avoid having to explicitly specify the type name in places the compiler knows it already. Do you understand what this means?Your comment sounds like trolling, frankly.
