Language fans can all say that about their favorite languages from the past. ;-)

lisp, prolog, smalltalk, forth, fortran, even ada.

The challenge for programming languages today is not so much the syntax/language constructs but the ecosystem, libraries, community & support.

See php, it has all that and is very successful.

p/s. I write PHP code and believe pascal is a better language.
