Many of your design aims sound a lot like what Java was supposed to be. In particular:

> Something dead simple.

> I want code that's easy to write and easy to read. No fancy tricks. -- no manual memory management or custom operators. A child should be able to use it.

> I want code that's easy to maintain and deploy.

> A language for accountants and office workers. For school teachers and twelve-year-olds.
