The quest for the perfect programming language is a personal and subjective journey, as the most suitable language can vary widely depending on an individual's needs, preferences, and the context of the task at hand. No single programming language can claim to be universally perfect, but there is often one that aligns closely with a specific developer's requirements, providing the right balance of power, expressiveness, and ease of use.

Static typing
Compiled and low-level (I need speed)
High-level constructs (combined with point #2)
Exception-based Error Handling

Machinarium is a good example of games that wants to transmit a message to it's player base and also about how a game can use some techniques to make it feel more inmersive and atrackt the user into wanting to discover more about the story.

Machinarium was published on 2009 along with other games such as call of duty. This made it difficult for it to expand on it's

I'm the developer for a startup that sells a genetic test to recommend medications for high blood pressure. For medical reasons we need to know our customers' birth date. Most of our customers are in their 60s or older. We've found that many of them use iPads or iPhones. And they're the ones who complain to our customer support that our site is unusable.
