I'm trying to determine the common traits of /prog/-approved languages:
lets start
1.GC is shit.
Does everyone agree? Are incremental GC's or automatic refcounting also shit?

Not every program is a one-page demo
Not every module needs to be recompiled every time you change one line of source code.

Consider APL readability as extreme "anti-popularity" feature.
It's an excellent feature: it keeps away webmonkeys and other idiots, and makes sure that only good programmers use the language, improving the community.

Clever terse one-liners and obfuscated code can't be reused.
Only if you're a newfag or a loser. But that's not the audience the perfect language should cater to.

It should be a fast path from newbie to competent programmer.
Because your cubicle farm needs lots of cheap disposable coders? You sound like another corporate Enterprise Java bullshit-monger.
