I'd dare say, "like most (if not all) languages with well-intended 
simple and elegant design" - and that it's /because/ of this design that 
they never really took off. Because its simplicity limits its usefulness 
for particular use cases, and the elegancy (of the whole smash) goes 
down the drain once you add extensions (including, but not limited to, 
libraries) to make it useful.
