As long as the syntax is
not *too* ugly (*cough*C++ templates*cough*) isn't the *semantics* more important? A pretty language that has limited expressiveness is useless; a powerful language that's a bit ugly in syntax isn't any less powerful
because of it.

What is the cost of expressiveness in these cases? I don't think expressiveness should be limited and often prettiness lends itself to expressiveness. People find D templates much easier to use than C++ ones and in part that's because they're much easier for humans to parse.
