The problem is devs are like, "This is a great language! I wish it had all these other feature from this other language I've been using."

Well, just go use that other language.

But they want those features without the complexity of the other language. So "just go use that other language" doesn't satisfy them, either.

But at least your response makes it so that they're whining about two languages, instead of just one...

Exactly.

Sadly seems inevitable that all languages will eventually become bloated due to this.

That is the "eventually fade away part" of my remark.
