I've never understood why people think "more features" is a flex. "Faster compile times" isn't even the primary benefit of fewer features, it's just gravy. More features, even with fast compile times, is a failure (which is probably why most of those "more expressive languages" are no longer with us unless one includes the JIT languages and--disingenuously--only measure the AOT compilation).

EDIT: wow, a downvote within literally 2 seconds of posting!
