But diversity is good. If I want C++, I already know where to find it.
The fallacy of "simple" languages is not understanding the history of programming languages, why and how they grow with the community, assuming they get any adoption at all.

No one among the folks that created Scheme or C, would assert R7RS or C23 are that simple.
