Dear All

Having read/studied a few programming languages I would be interested to
know the core features functions etc that would be most desired? I have
listed below some features I would like to see.

1. ease of scripting languages with the near speed of compiled ones
2. linked to a core library of functions ie glibc
3. mozilla's XUL
4. SDL graphics opengl library
5. mozilla's XUL linked to 3. and 4.
6. message sending and receiving features such as SOAP WDSL RDF WDDX and
RPC

Can always be bolted on with libraries, as it usually is. Or do you
mean support
in the basic syntax/keywords?

7. bytecode VM that can be translated in the native or targeted host
system via a JIT compiler
8. designed mainly for dymanic languages
9. reverse polish notation ie forth and postscript as core language

Huh? Do you mean "intermediate" language? But why would you need a
forth-type language AND bytecode as intermediates?

design or used as lower level conversation
10. MACROS like features

Can always be bolted on by textual pre-processing, although that is
not always the best answer.

11. conditional compilation

Ditto.

any suggestions wellcome!
