Hello @avalander I agree with all your points.

To be fair, your argument sounds to me like someone might like or use it. If accepted, this argument trumps anything, so it's pointless to propose any language in this discussion because someone might like it.

To be clear, my own answer to What are the worst programming languages that nobody should learn? is ... 42.

You cannot answer that question unless you can be in the context of everyone... which you can't do unless you are God.

My point was people are wasting energy because they would really like to know the correct answer to the reverse question.

What is the best programming language that all developers should learn?

And the bleak truth again here is... again 42.

It's the wrong question to ask.

Pick one that sounds fine in your context and get started.
