It will be a fact of life wherever Godels theorem is; which put
simplistically is: consistency and completeness cannot coexist.  This
is the 'logic-generator' for the mess in programming languages.
Put in more general terms:
Completeness is an 'adding' process
Consistency is a 'subtracting' process
Running the two together, convergence is hopeless.

In programming language terms the pull is between simplicity and
expressivity/power.
