I'm just wondering, why should it take 15 years to get operators [] and -> to work with any subexpression (and to my knowledge it's still not 100% there)? Shouldn't it be implied and kind of automatic in a programming language?

Or why should it take 15 years to adopt [...] as an array constructor in a language where arrays are one of the central data structures?

Here is opinion No. 823,664,783 about PHP from a long time PHP developer: it sucks (for me) because somehow I don't have a sense that the language itself is in good hands. I'm not sure if, say, they introduce a new basic operator in expressions and that it will not take another 15 years until it makes full programming sense.
