Unfortunately:

  1. 8th isn't really a well-known language. It's not even in the less than 0.1% section of the server-side or client-side lists.
  2. According to your manual, you're still offering RSA for public-key encryption. (It doesn't specify which mode you're using but hopefully it isn't PKCS1v1.5.) This disqualifies 8th for being modern crypto. You want ECDH over a twist-secure Montgomery curve, preferably Curve25519 or Curve448.
