This is the reason why all of these "mashup" languages are so pointless.
Everyone feels like X language is so great but if only we could add a feature from Y language to it. They then attempt to trivialize what is needed for that feature not realizing that the benefits of Y are due, in part, to the non-trivial amount of functionality. They almost always turn into a façade of the feature they truly want to support and they never gain traction because their usefulness just really isn't there.
