Dart Programming Language
40hz:
^True. But we're really not looking to learn anything new if possible. We're really trying to make up for shortcomings in what we already use.
What we really want is for someone to design a language whose internal logic and structure maps exactly to our own - and operates exactly the way we think a language should. And we continue to believe such a language is waiting out there... somewhere... somewhere... if only we can remain pure and strong in our belief. (Very often with a conviction bordering on mania if Ruby language forums are anything to go by!) :P
After that, who cares about everybody else or what "stupid language" those fools use? We have OUR language!
;D
Renegade:
Part of the charm of a language is that it lets you communicate with other *people*. ;) :P
I suppose that if you had a language that only you and the machine understood, and that you could effectively communicate your "intent" without fear of grammar/syntax and other annoying errors, then sure. But there are simply too many advantages to sharing languages as you get to use code that other people wrote.
I suppose that in an "intentional fantasy language", it's not a stretch just to throw in that all languages are compatible with each other. :)
Still dreaming...

@Ren: FWIW when two people do that it's usually called "pillow talk." And a very high-level high-bandwidth language it is too! The user interface is pretty interesting too. ;)

Renegade, could you edit your post to put that "small list" inside a code box? :)
