This comes down to whether a languages is "opinionated" or not - whether it claims that a certain way of doing things is the best and makes it easy to do. I've realized I tend to like opinionated languages more. I still want it to be possible to do anything I want, but for the common case, having a sane, opinionated language lets me worry about my problem and not about, for example, implementing an object/dispatch system. Consider Clojure for a nice, opinionated Lisp.
