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.

Just learn a whole bunch of languages
Isn't it way better to get good at a few languages rather than learning dozens I don't really know well at all.

Maybe there are other things to experience?
Nope. And if there are, I can't do them.

If you have a certain task in mind, then you should look check out what your needs will be.
Just something I can enjoy. Although I would like something with a nice plotting library if possible.
