I doubt this is what you were looking for, but I want to see a programming language that is not text based.
For the past decades no one has been disrupting programming at a fundamental level.
We are stuck with a "program must be a bunch of ascii files edited with text editors" mindset that no one dares to challenge.
The collective of programmers suffer from an extreme case of the Stockholm syndrome.
If you are not familiar go learn about "Intentional Programming".
I recently wrote some relevant comments about it.

Current programming languages mean we share an ASCII language with the compilers. This creates a fundamental tension and conflict of interest between humans and computers.
It creates all sorts of artificial problems that we have spent so much time trying to fix.
