I need a compiled language that has built-in compound data structures like lists and maps, excellent libraries like ncurses and SQLite out of the box. Imperative, has a concept of modules and easy c interface.
I don't like c, too barebones. I don't like pascal's syntax. Golang's libraries are too immature. Help /prog/

I don't like pascal's syntax.
That rules out roughly half of the "trying to be serious" languages in existence.
Golang's libraries are too immature.
The standard packages that comes with Go is pretty damn big considering that it seems they only pack in building blocks a C programmer would want, that is written in Go, and uses their BSD license. That cat-v site that gets posted every few days has a list of bindings to external projects.
