In my humble opinion we shall add two strategic feature of ECMA: Void-safety (keyword attached and detachable) and convertions (keyword convert).

See https://www.eiffel.org/doc/eiffel/Void-safety-_Background%2C_definition%2C_and_tools basically the syntax is

if attached x as l_x then l_x.f (a) end

and

my_attached_string: attached STRING

my_detachable_string: detachable STRING

This would greatly enhance capabilities and expressiveness of the language.
