I'm not deemphasizing it, I'm just saying that we're talking about different meanings of "complexity" here and there is no well-accepted definition. My "complexity" refers to the effort required by the programmer when understanding programs written in the language.

Fair enough, ron. I won't belabor it further. I'll just leave this: Long ago, after coming across a very useful distinction between the words "practical" and "pragmatic," i intentionally changed my usage of those words as a result. Not because a charismatic person told me to, but because it was useful. If a distinction is useful to make, start making it, my man!
