High Level Languages that aren't shit

Do any exist? I've been looking for something like a high level C. The closest thing is probably Lua, but that's obviously unacceptable. Plus Lua is more C++ and less C. I liked Perl, but Perl 6 is not so good and has left a bad taste in my mouth.

The language that influenced Lua the most is Scheme.

The only thing it really got from C++ is being able to declare a local variable without introducing a new level of indentation.


Anyway, "like C" is very vague, OP. Please be more specific.

implying Lua is not just JS done right.
