Well, LISP too. Define, compose, and apply. Barely above a common language of math and mirroring many languages' parsed AST of equivalent constructs.
People enjoy using simple things in a "worse is better"/paradox of choice way. Unfortunately, simple doesn't do threading, exceptions, side-effects, or C library linkage. Simple doesn't scale when you need a deploy button, a backup and restore button, firewall rules API, monitoring logic, or a scale-to-5000-stateless-nodes-behind-a-proxy supervisory service.
