So guys. I have a stupid question to ask: if you were going to design a language what would it be like?
I'm curious to know /prog/'s ideas. We argue language features a lot, and feature interplay a little, but we rarely get down to feature holism. (I'm not asking /prog/ in cooperation to design a language, but that might be hilarious.)
I'm asking because for all my opinions and dissatisfaction with the majority of languages I use I'm still stumped as to what I would like to see, ideally. (Obviously the right-tool-for-the-job maxim applies, but even when I pick a specialization I run into problems making up my mind.)
