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?

>>60
concurrency is not the next big thing, parallelism is
Go's purpose is not to be ``the next big thing'', it's to include already existing functionality in a well-designed way. Concurrency is just fine for real world programming.

That's utterly ridiculous. Why would you rather have a jack-of-all-trades language like the mess that C++ is than learn a few (even two would suffice) languages that would together cover the same field without any one of them being shit because it tries to be everything at once? Wanting something like that from a programming language shows that you don't have a clue what you want.
