If simplicity was the overriding goal, we'd settle for the simplest
possible language that was Turing complete.
In other words, Brainfuck: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck
It only has 8 commmands and *nothing* else, SOOO SIMPLE!!!
I've been incredibly productive ever since I switched to BF! It's so
amazingly simple and orthogonal that it only takes *just* a day or so to
write a "hello world"! Brilliant!
Today "hello world", next millennium "pong", and then some glorious
day...*real useful software*! Mwahahahahah!!!!!
