No contest whatsoever on that point. ;-)

Some would argue that this is pure inertia. (FWIW, I have mainly used
C in my coding career, and learned Scheme recently.)

Any comment on the *human* language aspect? That's really what I was
trying to inspire comment about. You seem to imply by analogy that for
human languages, there would be a similar spread of power between
languages geared for hackers and languages geared for "common users".
This is an ... interesting proposition; would you back it as applied
to human languages?
