Yop! this said, I recently read (no pointer, sorry) about a possibly 
interesting third way: making the core language as close to orthogonal as 
possible w/o making the rest difficult, then build compromises as sugar layers 
around (syntactic & semantic).
This may be, actually, more or less close to how some actual languages are 
actually constructed; but I find that making this principle intentonal and 
intentional totally changes the whole approach. Also think this well fits the 
design of PL with a main/core paradigm/style (not so for D, probably).
