Well, personally, I'm taking a class on the Design and Implementation
of Object Oriented Dynamic Languages, so it's my job to think about
how such languages can be improved and what the ideal language might
be like.  No programming language is perfect.  I don't think that it
is to anyone's benefit to pretend that they are.
