What Leledumbo says, and that also illustrates that one should be very careful with borrowing features. What it ends up being might be different from how it is in a different language.
The classic example is GC. People compare languages with movable, generational GCs designed into the core, and then say "Yes, but you can also whack a GC under C, so it should also be possible for Pascal". NO, not the SAME GC :_)
Anyway, radical changes are not considered AT ALL anyway.
And personally, I think the undirected drive to modernization is just a pretext for forcing random language experimentation into a project where it doesn't belong.
