Any decent modern general-purpose languages?

Assembly: Unportable. No standardised syntax.
Classical Visual Basic: Some good parts. Shit overall.
C: Shitty standard library. Deficient type system. Can't into Unicode. ``Unportable assembly.''
D and C++: Obfuscated boilerplate languages.
Java and C#: Forced OOP.
Common Lisp: Archaic cons-based library. Writing complex macros is a PitA due to the unlispy quotation syntaxes.
Scheme: CL without namespaces.
Clojure and Erlang: Concurrency is unneeded outside of a few very specific applications. Parallelism is where it's at.
OCaml: Great language, only one, deficient, implementation.
Haskell: Academic sex toy.
Forth: Reinventing the wheel over and over.
Ruby: Implicit declarations. Slow as fuck.
Python: Implicit declarations. FioC.
Perl: Brain damage.
PHP: Pretty much shit.
JavaScript: "" == false

It's impossible to list them all but, please, what decent modern general-purpose languages exist?

That's funny because they are all terribly useless. Absolutely no one uses them in production, for good reason. Go is a shit language; it's like C mixed with Javascript and Pascal, but crippled. Google doesn't even use it for anything important. The only reason anyone has heard of it is because of cat-v Plan 9 faggots astroturfing on the web. Rust and D are even more obscure and shitty. D is like C++ except for retards. Not to mention that none of these have compilers that produce code as fast as C++ compilers, or even the JVM for that matter.

Languages like C and C++ had their day in the 80s when you had to write directly to hardware on singletasking OSless home computers. When you wrote a program back then, the program was the OS, everyone used asm back then. Using an archaic language like C++ now is sheer stupidity. Having to manually manage memory back when you were writing directly to hardware addresses and had full control of the CPU, but that kind of programming is gone with mondern OS's. You can call it astroturfing all you want, but languages like Go, D and Rust are going to take over and eliminate all the stupid time wasting errors that could be eliminated with garbage collection. Basically you should be able to look at code and know what it does, not poke around with a debugger and static anaylisis to try and find out what the program might do because the code is to unsafe to trust on its own. There are a lot of people who make their living coding C/C++ whos work will be made obsolete by modern compiled languages, languages that should have caught on 15 years ago.
