Probably. How many of these powerful languages started out that way and received widespread adoption though? C++ was basically C with classes when it become big. C# and Java are complex beasts now but both gained popularity when they were much simpler.

Programming languages need to be comprehensible to your average programmer and not just a few elites.

Programming languages for the average programmer end up with libraries full of boilerplate and code generators to work around lack of features.
