I strongly suspect that it is possible for a language to be too powerful. The more capacity a language has to let you do wonderful things, the more capacity it has to let you do truly awful things as well. ("With great power comes great responsibility" and all that). Also, something about the expressivity of the code means that your code is wonderful, but other peoples code is potentially a nightmare.
