I like the ideas in haskell, but I also hate the way it looks.
I like C for it’s similicity, but then I hate the way simple tasks tend to require more work than other languages.
I hate php, but I really do hate it.
I’ve never tried perl, but I don’t think I’d like it.
I don’t like python, ruby, Java, .NET because the dependancies are huge.
I like the ideas behind erlang, but I really dislike the syntax.
I like the python syntax, but the standard library is buggy.
I don’t like the fact that each language has to have it’s own set of rewritten libaries and interpreter/VM.

I want the power and similicity of C with:

• function polymorphism
• stronger typing(bounds checking??)
• good documentation in a single place for many third party libraries that have agreed upon coding standards
• beter handling of concurrency/distributed computing
• compiliable in to native code for reduced dependancies.
