The problem is that for small projects you want a permissive language. For big projects you want a restrictive one. Since projects are generally written according to the "worse is better" school of thought it's better for a language to make it quick to get going with a small project than easy to maintain a huge one.

> The problem is that for small projects you want a permissive language. For big projects you want a restrictive one. I'd say that the important factor is the cost of a bug, not project size. There are many small project that absolutely crucial to get right, as well as some large ones that are not. I do not have a problem with people choosing what they need, only with the fact that (sometimes superficial) simplicity becomes the only factor in this decision.
