What do you mean by "static" in this case?
E.g., not a dynamically typed language?

All projects just get set aside for the future ...

I think that's actually a very interesting point.  :-)

If a language does what's needed of it, why must it
be complete, and well-rounded?

C functions superbly with numerous flaws and issues.
I.e., a language which is broken in some or many ways
may result in improved effective of the language.
Do you agree?  Or, am I just being the Devil's advocate?

I agree with:

1) viable
2) alternative to C
3) simple  (unmentioned, perhaps not...)

... since I've done that for my own language.   But, as for
"less annoying", I'm not sure about that one.  Mine might
be more annoying ...  ;-)  It definately has issues that
need to be "pounded on" for a while.  Simplicity of
implementation was a key detail.  That may have resulted in
some annoyance.

Does this matter for a one off language?
