The perfect programming language has:

  - The compile speed of Go
  - The performance of Go
  - The single binary compilation of Go
  - The type system of Kotlin
  - The ecosystem of JVM (packages for anything I could dream of)
  - The document sytem/tests of Elixir
  - The ability to go "unsafe" and opt for ARC instead of GC
  - The result monad/option monad and match statements from OCaml/Gleam
  - A REPL like Kotlin or even better, OCaml
  - A GREAT LSP for NeoVim
  - A package/module system that minimizes transient dependencies
  - No reliance on a VM like BEAM or JVM
I still dream about this "one size fits all" language.
