I found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH9VCN6UkyQ . 
And I was mistaken: it's not "opinionated," it's "big agenda", 
and it isn't the only criterion by which he judges a language. 
So, as an example, Rust is considered to have a "big agenda" 
(borrow checker), or insufficiently-tested mandate. Funnily 
enough, D is too similar to C++. The latter is something that 
appears on this very newsgroup from time-to-time: D is a nicer 
C++, but its differences and advantages aren't appropriately 
significant to warrant a change.
Aside: This video is only three years old, and my mind already 
distorted it. Scary stuff.
