I like Ada. It's nice. It's actually beyond nice. I don't like working at/for the places that use it. Just in terms of "I'm used to it, and it (mostly) works everywhere I want it to be", C89 + your UTF-handling would be super. I can (and have) construct support for CJK if/when needed, but, gosh, at this point, I wouldn't mind relegating it to some standard run-time.
