为什么 HN 推它
被 HN 奉为史上最精彩的技术演讲之一。凡是讨论语言设计哲学、精简内核与系统可扩展性时，几乎无一例外会提及这篇神作。
「在这个宏大议题上，这大概是有史以来最无可挑剔的一场演讲了。」HN 网友原话：This is probably the best talk ever on the general topic
英文原摘要（HackerTube / Claude 整理）
Guy Steele's 1998 OOPSLA keynote on designing a programming language that its users can grow. He builds the talk using only one-syllable words and terms he has defined, to demonstrate the idea.
HN considers it one of the best technical talks ever and cites it in discussions of language design, small cores and extensibility.
