I find the unnecessarily complex argument a little odd. Third party ecosystems and individual libraries can be unnecessarily complex, especially when they're heavily opinionated. But I've performance never encountered a language I found "unnecessarily" complex. Do you have a few examples and what in particular you consider unnecessarily complex?
