A language isn't obliged to serve all realities equally. Quite the opposite: a language, a framework, a system -- a product -- should carve out a set of contexts that it's explicitly targeting, and fiercely guard those boundaries. Otherwise, you get terrible products that are nothing more than the lesser sum of their features, like JIRA, or Scala.
