I, for one, do not think that it is expressive enough to cover all of the different paradigms being explored. You are not alone with that opinion, I've seen it a couple times in similar discussions. Yet I'm missing a concrete example for a piece of functionality that can't be reasonably wrapped. Browbeating is irrelevant in either direction. What matters for adoption is a sane interface for day-to-day use and that includes proper tooling for interactive use - an area where many of the contenders are still sorely lacking.
