Of those 3 languages, I would blame C++ for laying out a minefield.

Considered FreePascal or Go, maybe? Pascal doesn't have a garbage collecter, but it's not "pointers everywhere" like C, and string values are reference counted. Having done a lot of C, I really miss function pointers when working in Java. (Pascal calls them procedural types instead of func ptrs)
