> don’t introduce the complexity when it’s unneeded.

Prediction is hard. Sometimes I start with something simple, and it ends up growing in scope until it's quite large and complex. Other times I start with something simple, and it stays simple.

So, what's worse, using a complex and/or strict language for something simple, or a simple and less strict language for something that ends up being very large and/or complex?

Interestingly, some people will probably read that last paragraph as my trying to make a point through implication. I suspect different people will assume I'm saying completely opposite things based on their own experience. Really, it's just hard, you get better at making the right choice as you go along, but you'll never always get it right.
