I think I was saying that what I seem to want personally is the "simple,
weak, slight" thing that you likely see as failure.

The opposite end of that--where everything is a list and can be composed
without special regard (lisp) or everything is an object that can receive
any message (smalltalk) are comfortable for me, but just not what I find
myself wanting very often.

My own view is not important in the sense that a broad survey would be, but
since it seems much less than what people seem to dream of, I wanted to
share that maybe people could be happy with less than they seek.

Or maybe that ultimate typeless generality is what others really need
somehow. I would not know.
