<<bogus proof that all languages are simple snipped>>

This whole post is based on the entirely erroneous notion
that since you can omit features of the language they
don't count in considering complexity.

But from almost all points of view EXCEPT simplicity of
resulting programs which is only one of the dimensions
of complexity, unused features add to the complexity
of the language.

You might as well say it is easy to get around in London,
and that its street map is no more complex than Manhatten's
Simply ignore all the streets you don't need to get from
where you are now to where you want to go!
