> Programming languages are not like your Word or Excel where more features is better.

I‘d contest that even for those categories adding more features is necessarily better. In fact, Word in particular is an excellent example of how adding features can result in a worse product.

On the other hand, I like programming languages with either a “batteries included” philosophy or a large ecosystem of easily usable libraries that allow you to solve common real-world problems quickly.
