.. and evaluate which se1.1 feature actually make more sense (and
implement those on top of 2 again if necessary)..
I just looked at the changelog of se2, and there seem to be lots of
changes (esp. in the compiler core) that look too useful to discard.

as for your comment about "simplicity", the main issue with "complex"
languages these days seems to be the class library - the language core
of java or smalltalk (even more than java) is simple, but finding your
way through the library is quite a big job, so extra care is necessary
with that one.
