In dream about a nice language

We live in a world where computations are pervasive but still we don't have a "nice-enough" language for programmers to work, and every existing languages have certain drawbacks. This sketch aims to think of a hypothetical language that is nice-enough.

Why can't we have a nice language?

  • Lagacy (C++ headers, Python2 encodings, Bash ugliness)
  • Evolution of PL theory (generics, lifetime, ...), idk too much
  • Industry Experience (Inheritance considered evil, implicit type conversion (to some extent),...)
  • Learning curve (I don't like to use this term, but...)
