Welcome to the wonderful world of language designers.

But I recommend you to squeeze your brain first to set up your own
opinion over the 'perfect' language, before asking people the best
way.  You need to have firm, well-thought idea about the 'good'
languages to be a successful language designer.  You also need a lot
of luck to success.  But it's another story.
