It turns out that a lot of the complexity of modern programming languages come from the language designers trying to make misaked harder. If you want to simplyfing by synthesising decades of accumulated knowledge into a coherent language, or to remove depreciated ideas (instead of the evolved spaghetti you get by decades of updating a language) then fine. If your approach to simplicity is to just not include the complexity, you will soon disciplinary that the complexity was there for a reason.
