Ye gods and little fishes, is there a new-ish language suitable for application programming, which has a more-or-less feature-complete design and implementation, and where there's no petty drama going on every other day? And which, to boot, lets you get a job done without requiring/strongly suggesting that you become a part of their vibrant community?

A have a sinking feeling such language exists and is called "C".

You may be right... I wouldn't call Nim's community vibrant though.

You know why I’m using the term, though. It’s a battering-ram-of-a-tongue-in-the-cheek. Each time I’m encouraged to engage in a community, it’s called vibrant for some reason.

It’s like the “incredible journey” term for companies that get swallowed whole by other companies, leaving their customers to dry.
