All current programming languages

Just .. miss the point, slightly, of what programming *is*.

We could do so much better, I'd like to start a language design group.

Anybody interested? (if so you could post a little bit about what sort of semantics and essence you'd like to work on)

No, distributing source code that needs to be compiled sucks ass, especially if it has anything to do with the GNU toolchain. It's fugly, messy, and shitty, and it's made of fail, file not found, unresolved external and make: Stop. And 4 or 5 different architectures? If the project is going to have any success, there are like 10 relevant architectures to support.
