Or perhaps more prudently, what the pros and cons of the best candidates would be in the context of "artificial general intelligence" programming. If one considers the efforts to establish a new language, e.g. "Flare", then one might believe there are weaknesses associated with the more established languages ?

I love Ruby. This is an almost ideal language, its only drawback is that
it is slow,
(It is interpreted.)
I think:
Perl made programming fast.
Python made it clean.
Ruby makes it fun.
The compiled languages, I like most : Sather and Ocaml, but I have to
spend most
of my time programming in C++, but I try to delegate all
non-time-critical tasks to Ruby.
My favourite would be a compilable Ruby.
