I am mostly enjoying this conversation without butting in, but this comment regarding the trade-offs and relative parity between S4 and Icon points out my motivation for wanting to pursue this further: I believe it is possible to obtain the best-of-both-worlds, or at least a good approximation of it. But it is a big job and the language design part is deeper than an M.S. thesis normally gets.
