> Programming languages are just tools and as such, they should be reasonably easy to use. I'd like to argue on how reasonably simple is simple enough. If I need a carpenter to build a stairs I'm my house, I would expect a good carpenter to know and use all the tools appropriate, no matter how complex. Of course, most things are doable with just a hatchet just fine, but I d expect a professional to choose a hatchet because it's better, not because they never bothered to learn proper tools. So whenever a language puts "easy to learn" as their main feature, I see it as a guide "how to build stairs with just a hatchet".
