Java, Basic, Pascal, C++ -- you're not exactly listing very good platforms in the first place. Python's a bit better but still seems antiquated, like Go.

Try Haskell or an ML. Heck, even C# isn't that bad these days.

JavaScript's just a minefield of pitfalls. To be fair, it was designed in 10 days, and progress on it has been slow to say the least. (Hence the silly crap like having a "left-pad" thing as a 3rd party "module" instead of part of a proper stdlib.)

Other stuff like using "function" as the lambda identifier just make me shake my head. Or not having integers. Just poor decisions all around.
